I recently went on a 3 week trip to Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Bali, and did nothing but photograph all day long. I had my R8 around my neck from the time I left LAX to the time I boarded the plane to return home. I appreciate and admire ALL categories of photographs from documentary to landscape to street photos to nude erotica, and I would assume that any mature, educated photographer (of the type we have here on the LUG) would appreciate any of the above photographic genres as well, without discrimination. (Not talking about you, Eric) But you're right.....photographing a gorgeous 19 year old Japanese college student in an earthtone sarong on the beach in La Jolla, CA with my M6HM and my 35/2 ASPH at about 4pm PST is hard to beat! :-) At 05:10 PM 4/9/98 -0500, Eric Welch wrote: >At 08:54 AM 4/9/98 -0700, you wrote: > >>in which the photos will be used.
