(in the PLUG we usually think this is a good idea) and he replied "when they checked my i.d. they'd see i was muslim and wouldn't serve me. i'd get in trouble." there was a lengthy pause before linda and i said, in concert, "your _religion_ is on your ID?" and there was a similar pause before he responded with equal slack jawed disbelief: "yours _isn't_?" all this meaning that i really haven't really paused much to consider what religion anybody is, photographer or not. though i do know it's impossible to buy a camera in manhattan on friday. i would say "it doesn't matter" but in academia, we learn that everything matters, if only for someone's dissertation. perhaps someone will post a list of the great scientologist photographers. kc - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
