[Leica] Re:Surprises at Photokina now Uncle Bob

[leicachris at worldnet.att.net (Chris Williams)]

In the wedding industry, we call them "Uncle Bob"

Uncle Bob will be the guy shooting over your shoulder with the Nikon D3 or 
Canon 1D MkIII with his flash pointed directly at the subject. Usually the 
camera is accompanied by the latest 18-200/4.5-5.6 whatever zoom since why 
pay $$$ for a lens? Later on he or she will talk your ass off about which 
camera he used to have but now it's so easy when all you do it shoot on 
"Program".

I've yet to experience any real Uncle Bob. I'm pretty tall and know how to 
use my elbows.

I was talking with another photographer before my last wedding, we discussed 
that when the iPhone gets LR we're in for it :)
