And not one person challenged me and any time the camera was in people direction they all hammed it up more. A smashing good party by all! :-) May I ask where this "ask before shoot" law come from and when did it go on the books in Germany? Or is this an urban legend rule created by some unruly photographer who was told to .....in polite language to, "get lost!?" ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
