[Leica] Children in the Park I : and a disturbing incident

[Aram Langhans]

Excellent.  Just out of curiosity, do you know these children?  Many years 
ago I was waiting for a friend in a local park to go shoot some fall color. 
I had just received my 35/2 R lens and was pointing it around to see how it 
might flare in the sun.  I happened to be pointing it in the area of the 
children's play area and some guy came up to me and challenged me about 
taking photos of kids playing.  I didn't even have film in my R8 at the 
time.  He wrote down my license plate number.  I then pointed my camera at 
him and took his picture (no film, remember).  Luckily my friend showed up 
and we wandered off to take some photos.  That was pretty upsetting to me, 
being a teacher.   It was a sad commentary on the state of affairs in our 
modern society.  Growing up in Seattle, I met an elderly gentleman on the 
corner of our bloc, three houses away.  We got to be friends and he got me 
started on my science career.  His name was Trevor Kincaid and he has a 
building named after him on the University of Washington campus.  He was 
long retired but we spent a lot of time together catching insects and 
looking through his microscope in his basement lab.  Can you imagine 
anything like that happening today?  Sad as I learned a lot from him.  My 
parents eventually met him and even my brothers and sisters and my 
neighborhood friends would partake in his company at times, but none as much 
as I would.  Without him my whole life would have been different.
