And now we also know that while the folks at Starbucks, for example, may be paranoid, that doesn't mean that there aren't people out to get them. ;-) B.

I go into a store with my M's and a 28 & 50 and pretend that I'm shopping- use fast film, guess focus (don't stand around looking through the viewfinder) move through the store quickly- I usually have a list of the things my client is interested in- and keep shooting till aproached by the manager or security, at which point I leave. So I've found 'no photography' is a rule at a lot of retailers- because there are spies!!!!!!
