[Leica] Being a fly on the wall

[jsmith342 at gmail.com (Jeffery Smith)]

After all of the HCB buzzing of the past few days, I opened some Merlot and 
slowly went through "City Landscapes" and "The Man, the Image, and the 
World". A lot of wonderful stuff can be captured if one travels light, 
carrys one shootin' iron, has good reflexes, and isn't in a big hurry. I try 
to do the first two (though I could travel lighter if I did digital), but 
often fail at the latter two.
