The original article mentioned that she had pulled out the camera and pointed it at paparazzi who were following her. She probably just got exasperated and decided to point *her* camera at *them.* In other words, she may not have actually been trying to take a picture. If she was, the Digilux 2's electronic viewfinder would have very quickly "told" her that something was wrong. In this respect, she has an advantage over us M users. It's also quite possible that she took the cap off a moment later, but a photo of that would not be as funny as the first. Nor would if fit popular preconceptions. As for not reading music, no less than Irving Berlin never learned that skill. Along with many of the rock icons my generation and younger worships. Sir Paul McCartney comes to mind. I don't say that this is good, only that it is so. --Peter At 06:39 PM 10/2/2005 -0700, you wrote: >L.O.L. - great shot!
