The more you think about that, the more sinister it becomes! I know it to be true, intuitively, but it's still strange, isn't it! However, think about it a little more, if you will. People only perk up their normally-dulled senses when something quite out of the ordinary appears. Even that has to be practically in front of their faces. Most of us have seen thousands of P&S folks in our daily travels. It's so much a part of our subconscious, we essentially ignore them. How many of us can recall having seen a photog set up a tripod, and make a few exposures, no matter how briefly, here and there? I can't think of how long ago it was for me. keith whaley
