Reluctant subjects

Not wanting to break any rules here, I posted a question on the

Leica forum that I would like additional input on:

Thanks

Chip - my thoughts:

<ul>

<li>Yes, it would've made a powerful statement

<li>Asking permission:

<ul>

<li>was the "nice guy" thing to do

<li>cost you that powerful statement, because:

<ul>

<li>they could (and did) say no

<li>if they said yes, it would've been posed -- a put on

<p></ul>

I would've:

<ul>

<li>walked away after the conversation

<li>taken a candid photo from a distance

</ul>

Just my $0.02...
