At 4PM today I got a call from the photo desk at the NY Times. They wanted to know if I could shoot an exercise class in West Bloomfield, Michigan at six. Of course I said yes and ducked out of work early. The story that the Times will run centers around the fact that this is an extreme workout, boot-camp style class for men, run by a pretty and petite blonde woman. Well, I show up for the class, and assemble my gear to do some test shots (with the pretty and petite blonde of course). She looks at my camera and says, "I thought all pros used Canon cameras. My boyfriend has a Canon 5D, and he said that's what all the pros use." I said, "Well, most of us at the NY Times (roll eyes:-) are shooting with Pentax now. We get in-body shake reduction and 10 megapixels in a compact camera. It's better for working journalists." "Oh," said she :-)). Pics of blonde to come:-))). Paul
