All I'd have to do is stand on the corner for an hour or two every noon hour and I'd problaly make a fortune. This work being really weird would excite the AD's to wetting their collective pants and then assign me super high paying avangard shit projects that a chimpanze could do. Some how I think I'd rather clean stables! :) It maybe in fashion, but so is bunji jumping and that's something I'll never do. A parachute is OK, but not dangling on the end of a whipping springy rope. :) Oh well time for me to go to bed as I started out this morning like this snarly attitude and it hasn't improved all day. Maybe if I take a loaded M6 and put it under my pillow I might find I can mentally transfer my mind images to the film. Now there's a hell of thought for using a Leica, be a tough call with the lumpy R8, but you could make it with the M6. good night, :) ted
