Frank, Thought about you and your comment last night while out and about in the Fells Point section of Baltimore.
I went out in the cold - okay, it was only in the upper 20s (F), no idea about wind chill - with the *ist D and some screwmount lenses. Jumped into a coffee shop to warm up - it beckoned since it had photographs on the wall. No large prints. Though, now that I think of it, I only got to see about three or four of them. One girl noted the camera as I took some shots of the interior as I was sitting at a table. We ended up talking for quite a bit and even more once her girl friend showed up. Interesting perspectives of idealistic college students. She ended up using her cell phone to have her friend take a shot of the two of us. I, of course, have a nice shot of the two of them And all this was without a snake-skinned LX ;-) C�sar Panama City, Florida in Baltimore, Maryland P.S. Stay off the list for a couple of days and I am once again in arrears. Looks like it is time to just kill off some threads... -- -----Original Message----- -- From: frank theriault [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Sent: Saturday, January 03, 2004 9:15 AM -- -- Hi, Cesar, -- -- "She"? -- -- Thus proving my point in an earlier point.
