The last few weeks my primary hunting grounds has been Rodeo Drive, in Beverly Hills. >After shooting there for a few weeks I've started to get a feel for the area. Some intersections and areas yield higher hit rates than others. One interesting aspect is that after a while you can feel if it's going to be a good day or not, when you get out there. On a good day you can sense a certain level of energy in the air and crowd and you know it's going to be a good. Other times you walk out of the parking lot and it just feels dead, even if there is pedestrian traffic, and you don't hit a thing all day long. Now, that may sound a little like I'm ready for the tinfoil hat brigade, but so far my gut feeling has been on the money. Anyone else experience this? feli ----- Probably everyone who has ever picked up a camera, paint brush, or pen has been there! The question one ponders...is it the mood, perspective, emotional state of the artist, or is the "collective consciousness" in the area wacked out that day? ;-) Maybe both?? Montie
