He is extremely mobile and fast on his feet, runs around, even backwards, to get the shot, a tall elderly man in a raincoat, prancing around balancing on one leg, and the movement of lowering the camera and winding on (M camera) seems to be so fast you don't see him wind the camera at all. But the prancing around- either you can do that in Paris and nobody notices, or- I don't know. I thought he was rather noticeable. Maybe I should try that next time I'm out in the metropolis and see what happens! Joe Berenbaum mailto:joe-b@dircon.co.uk
