I don't know if he heard the mirror. But I stopped him when he came
out of a store and showed him the pic. I then gave him a card with
my e-mail address and told him I'd be happy to send it to him. Never
heard from him, which is typical in my experience.
Most of the time when I've had people *ask* me to take their
pictures, and given them my contact info, I don't hear from them. I
don't get it! What's the point? Is it some weird inversion of
voyeurism?

VS1 70-210/3.5 at 210 mm. It may not fit your definition of
"street shooting," which is a fuzzy term to begin with, but it's
on the street, and it's a shot.

Great picture.
Now there is the internet and there cameras everywhere isn't it
getting more difficult to take pictures like that one, even at
210mm? How did that guy react when he heard the noise of your
mirror slapping? I'd love to take pictures like that. I don't do it
much because just holding the -DS on the street makes me feel
unconfortable.

P.S. I'm waiting for a Minox I bought on Ebay but then film size is
only 9mm so quality is not so good.
