Society, as a whole, is so camera conscious these days, that some professionals have concluded that someone seeing a photographer with a black body is instantly on guard, because, if he or she is using a black body, he MUST be a member of the media. Therefore, the subject is immediately on guard. But, a person shooting with a chrome camera COULDN'T be a professional, therefore he or she must be an amateur photographer, which means he doesn't know what he or she is doing, therefore not worthy of attention. --Bill Clough __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
