First I went out with just one M and the 35/50 combo. I dressed reasonably well and tried the usual low profile approach that seems to work in most places. Oddly enough that didn't go over very well. People became very suspicious and defensive. Yesterday I tried a different approach. I took my big Domke bag and hung two M cameras with 35/50 around my neck (staggered) and the R6.2 with the 180 around my shoulder. Put on some jeans, a black t-shirt and wore my hiking boots. Then I simply wandered around and fired point blank at anything and anyone that struck my fancy. People didn't even bat an eye and some even appeared eager to have their picture taken. I tell you, Los Angeles is a very strange place. Feli ________________________________________________________ feli2@earthlink.net 2 + 2 = 4 www.elanphotos.com no archive
