Jim Shulman Bryn Mawr, PA -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+jshul=comcast.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+jshul=comcast.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Nathan Wajsman Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2008 12:31 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Lecia Street Photography I am not sure I agree, Steve. First of all, I do not have the balls to interrupt a passionate couple to request a picture. The whole point of these is that the couples are absorbed in each other, not the photographer.
