[Leica] IMG: Maastricht

[Ted Grant]

In the "olden days" shooting for the government tourist dept. If it rained or just bad weather and you didn't shoot? "THEY DIDN'T PAY YOU FOR THE DAY!!!!!!" :-(
BAD SCENE! :-( 
But I always went indoors to tourist type shops and always found touristy looking people and always  had pay  days! :-) 
But like you, I went quietly about clicking like I was a tourist.
Thanks for response.
cheers,
ted

Thanks Ted. The answer is that I just “play tourist and quietly click away”. Especially in a place like this which is a bit of a tourist attraction—it has been written about in The Guardian (as one of the world’s 10 most beautiful/unique book shops).

Cheers,
Nathan
