As I neared the outdoor stage, I saw on a large sign with the words NO TAPE RECORDERS! NO VIDEO CAMERAS! Everyone seems to think everyone else has an ulterior motive. I have started shooting my Rolleiflex TLR lately. Nobody would think that a lawyer, terrorist, paparazzi, or private detective would use a Rolleiflex, so people leave me alone.
