Re: The morality of taking a photograph

[Paul Stenquist]

I've "hid" the camera for some of my best shots. I shot this in Paris 
(where I ran into some problems with unwilling subjects) by placing the 
camera on the table, "guesstimating" the focus and framing, and opening 
the shutter while looking somewhere else.

The camera was a Leica LTM, so it was almost silent. I am pleased that 
I was able to pull it off. I have never felt even a twinge of remorse.

So, how did you sneak it? Did you actually hide the camera or did you
do the old "I'm just checking the dials, oops, I shot off a frame, I
wish I knew how this thing worked" routine?
In the middle of this intense discussion, this line delighted me, Tom
