I owe a debt of gratitude to Kenneth for the first and third; I followed his advice about staying in one place until people got used to me being there with a camera. Those 2 were in the same location and five minutes apart. http://gallery.leica-users.org/album395/fountain http://gallery.leica-users.org/album395/monitor http://gallery.leica-users.org/album395/feeding Tech blab: M2, 35 summicron 1st ver., neopan1600 at 800 Tornado survival tales- Several students at my school had their homes demolished in the Friday tornados around Nashville. The kids had left school at noon, Parent Conference Day, so a lot of them were at home alone when the twister struck. One boy was asleep and was wakened by a call from his Dad. He heard a noise, went to the window, and could see the funnel 100 yards away. He made it to the basement. Half the house destroyed, the other half was as if nothing had happened. A girl in my photo class, also alone, got a call from her mom. By her account the power went off two seconds after she hung up, so she ran straight to the closet, and the tornado struck about 2 seconds after that. She stayed in there for twenty minutes. I asked if she was scared, she said 'I was hysterical'. How was her house? 'Everything was gone except for the closet'. Arche
