As some background, the candid photo of the girl at the pay-phone was taken in the very best Leica tradition . . . with an Olympus C-8080! The live-view articulated LCD gave me the option of using the camera like a twin lens reflex, with the zoom lens extended to about a 90mm equivalent. It was in fairly dark shade, but I was able to brace the camera against my body for a very sharp photo at 1/15th second. By standing with a group of people (that she was part of, too) and appearing to be "fiddling" with the camera, the girl was not aware that I was taking the photo. I have not been posting to my "Lympa Log" much lately, nor much to the LUG for that matter. However, LUGgers can follow my passion for the creative Olympus E-330 dual-capability of optical viewfinder and flip LCD finder at: http://www.northcoastphotos.com/Lympa.htm My main concentration these days is preparing for a two-month trip to Swaziland, Africa to document the town of Bulembu, which is serving the abandoned and orphaned children in a country with the highest AIDS/HIV infection rate in the world. http://overseasresourcelink.org/who_we_are.html http://bulembu.org/ I will be taking my two E-330's kit, along with the adapted Leica-R lenses described in the Lympa Log.
