If you enjoy (?) this kind of thing you should try photographing with a technical field camera in a public place sometimes. Excellent possibilities for promoting both silver halide based photography as well as your own work on a one-to-one basis. The stories that develop are often very interesting, people get into reminescing about "a grandfather who also took photos that way" and "the darkslide was always important". It's the anathema of surreptious street photography, but street photography nonetheless. Christoph Hammann -- CCH-Photography http://www.cch-photography.com
