It may not be wholly rational, but nobody is paying me to take pictures—I have a good day job which provides me with a decent living—so I can take pictures in whatever way pleases me.

The plan is to walk around with him, and hopefully use his invisibilty cloak and his charm to get some decent shots of my own. I plan to shoot mainly film—I will take a digital camera with me to supplement the M2, but most likely it will be just the Ricoh GR or perhaps the Fuji X-T1 with just one lens, the tiny but superb 27mm.
