I don't mind having conversations about whatever camera I have on my shoulder or around my neck. Frequently these conversations lead to interesting discussions and observations about better vantage points. On the other hand, when I see something interesting the conversation ends and I run off to capture whatever caught my eye. My experiences have been all positive, except for one or two security guards who felt I didn't belong. As for $$$ hanging off my neck, it is just stuff. I think that if it has no real value except as a tool to you then others will sense the same and not think it is worth anything. Believe me, I have been in interesting places and haven't had any incidents or trouble, of course I am almost two meters high and usually looking all around me so normally would not appear to be easy money. :) Don don.dory@gmail.com On 4/10/06, Slobodan Dimitrov <s.dimitrov@charter.net> wrote: > > While shooting a demo today, I couldn't help but notice nearly 7-8 > Leicas.
