Paul... your wife's buddy is Michael Jackson??!!

Rarely does the patina of the street scrape away by itself to reveal the underlying reality of existence. Possibly the newest cameras offer a button that will do this, but all I had was an M6, three chords and the truth.<div></div>

I think they do, Peter. May be you are not built for them.

Vivek, at least on my machine, your picture will not show. Perhaps there is a flickr-linking ban in effect? Anyway, I was mainly talking about the humongoid DSLRs with the kung fu grips and hive-engineered silver bullet snapshoot modes that ensure YOUR nice picture will look just like one million other nice pictures. R-D1s and the like are cyborg rangefinders: they still retain some blood and bone, eh?

Peter, Sorry about the goof up. It was my fault that the photo stopped showing. Did not actually pull it out but made another mistake.

As a penance, another (from the same set-up):

No, it isn't the gear or how one might handle a camera but what comes out of it that counts for me.

Vivek,

 

"it isn't the gear or how one might handle a camera but what comes out of it that counts for me."

 

Sometimes I think the reverse is true of women. Just sometimes.

Leslie! Jeff! Ian! Stuart!! Nice....!

Leslie, thanks for starting the thread this week. There's some good ones in here.</p>

You are the truth, Peter. At least to yourself....unless you have been telling yourself fibs. I don't think your cam really understands very much.<div></div>
