Bob, the image is very 'rich' indeed. The angle perhaps gives the
'viewfinder' away ;-) I did not think my 'blad would make a good street
camera, though the Rolleiflex certainly did in Egypt, but on my trip to
Cuba, some of my best portraits of people were with the blad: the people
'responded' to the big noisy beast, rather than shying away. As always,
its horses for courses.
