Bob Shell (flame suit on!) photos I like, he's on Compuserve and there's a lively email group. He has photos to download that he upgrades often(no wonder he's so b-z!) Now about his 'never met a camera he never liked' I like the fact that when he reviews a camera he shoots girls and other objects cuz you get to see (not really good, the mags paper is yucky) how each lens 'paints' a picture, I can cut out each print, line them up and run a compare! I read somewhere that photographing people is one of the more difficult things to do (how many bad people pics do you see your friends shoot?) On photo rights, I agree with Walt! I lead mountain bike rides for my bikeclub where I teach safe riding. I now need a permit to ride in a public park that my taxes pay for simply because I use a MTB! the horse crowd do also but hikers do not! Question to all on Domke bags....I have the original small bag and his larger bags (3 total) the small one is really tattered, showing lots of use, like old pair of jeans. When I bought mine, a pro mentioned to use it till it falls apart but before the Leica falls out! ;-). Have any Lugnuts got there yet? my small bag were bought in '77 the large in 78 and 80.(i may be off a year or two). I finally getting used to my LUG soft shutter release!! Soft clicks to all!!! <paul>
