[Leica] IMG: Alton Brown stole my camera and I have the images to prove it

Okay, not really. 

My wife and I walked down to the local bookstore(a real local store, not the 
B&N) today to see Alton Brown (Good Eats and Iron Chef TV Host). He was 
signing his new book "Feasting on Asphalt", which follows the story of the 
TV series of the same name that Alton did last year. They started in New 
Orleans and went up North along the Mississippi River on motorcycles looking 
for local recipes and food.

We noticed he was taking photos with everyone so it seemed no problem to get 
some shots with him when it was our turn. So we get up there, extremely nice 
guy, signs the books and one of the assistants says she would take a photo 
with my camera so we both can be in the shot. Well, keep in mind I have my 
D3 with 28-70/2.8 with me, but she says no problem. I put the camera on AF-C 
and high speed 11fps just to make sure she will get the shot for us.

Click,click,click,click,click,click,click.............. she's nailing it! 
Alton starts to laugh at how large and fast the camera is. So he starts to 
shoot self portraits with it! This is just too hilarious! I make sure I 
sneak in a few frames with my ugly mug. 

So here's a slideshow of today, complete with Alton's self portraits.

As we're leaving he tells me Ansel would not approve of that type of 
photography.
