Last Saturday, while photographing a demonstration in Times Square about the Florida voting situation, I heard a loud `Excuse me.' 
I looked up a saw a cop staring at me. 
`Is that a new camera or an old camera?' he asked. 
`Old camera, made in 1936. Still works great.' I said.
`Really? Nice camera.' he said.

Leica III. The stealth camera of choice for me. Most people on the street don't feel threatened by something that looks like it was found in an attic.
