[Leica] As The World Turns In A Monkey's Fist

["Buzz Hausner" <buzz.hausner@verizon.net>]

...well, Ted, I was once photographing a troop of colobus monkeys at
close range in Africa.  When colobus monkeys feel threatened they are
deadly accurate throwing their fresh feces.  My 90mm-C cleaned up
nicely, though.

I look forward to seeing you in Boston.

	Regards,

	Buzz

Hi bd,
That's what he said... "shot the forbidden women from the hip! And got
some
good ones." However, they could've been his "last good ones" if they
caught
him. :-(

And under their law he might've been dragged behind a camel herd on a
short
rope by the ankles where it could be very painful, not to mention sand
in
the Leica and a camel unleashing a bowel movement somewhat covering he
and
camera! ;-) ;-) Oh, jeeeesh what an ending scene to the movie epic,
"Sands
of the  hip shooter! "..... ;-)

A later question might be, "Gee has anyone heard from Frank lately?"
"No
the last we heard he's on a Camel dragging expedition in the desert !"
;-)

Not to mention, doing it and being caught pisses off these people and
makes
them suspicious of every other photographer visiting their quarters who
may
not be so reckless and disrespectful of their customs. You're
automatically
guilty in their eyes even if you never touched your camera! I've always
let
the customs of the land govern my respect for the people whom I'm
visiting.
You may want to go back some day! And it beats the heck out of camel
dung in
your face. ;-)
