What a giggle! Great shot. The guy in the plaid pants should be arrested by the taste police.

They would have half our city behind bars--at least, half of the over 40 crowd.

Ah. Well. The plaid pants look very well pressed. (Michael (40+), trying to recover, fades to black)

This is exactly why I shoot with a Leica rangefinder and loose the crowds ASAP. I just don't want to be "like them"

My wife was looking through her latest issue of New York Magazine last night. It is the annual fashion edition--and you would not believe the amount of plaid clothing featured. It seems to be coming back into vogue with the in-crowd. I'm about as likely to start wearing it as I am to take up the bagpipe.

And if the dollar ever strengthens, they will invade your country in droves. You might even have to be nice to them.

Hi Brent,
That's a funny image! I bet you were the only Leica shooter?
Your second image is perfect.
