We agree on the permission issue. ;-) I try my best to adhere to the Golden Rule and usually avoid shooting around strangers in the first place, because one never knows how they will react. And, no, I would not have done the "health club" stunt, and thought they were crass when I heard of them. Good shooting! /Mitch Zeissler - -----Original Message----- From: Jem Kime [mailto:jem.kime@cwcom.net] Sent: Thursday, September 14, 2000 2:17 PM To: 'leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us' Subject: RE: [Leica] quiet cameras in cathedrals? Mitch, Thanks for the great big grin! I guess that's the difference between talking in person and corresponding through a time line. In an instant you'd have set me straight on your actions and we'd have gone off on a different topic. Just because work is critically acclaimed doesn't justify the means of acquiring it. A few years back, some photographer persuaded the health club where Princess Diana trained to install 2 way mirrors so he could shoot some pix of her working out. The photos were applauded by other photographers who could appreciate the ingenuity to achieve the result and could have wished to have thought of it first, and by the public who bought the papers in their millions with the pictures in, but would you want to have done that? But the topic was hot fun while it lasted. Jem
