attending a local arts festival I had about 5 folks comment on my M8 & one of them was a photojournalist working for the Chronicle

we took photographs of one another & he posted a charming entry in his blog that I thought I would share

 

Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost

 

scroll down to the March 25 entry

 

I was surprised with the attention this little camera got & now understand better why some seek ways to disguise their camera, though I did not find this a bother and enjoyed my encounter with this photographer

Arthur:

 

You're right about carrying a Leica around other photographers -- kinda like the way walking a cute dog on a leash is a chick magnet :D The Leica, and probably any rangefinder camera now, almost looks quaint and a touch "antique" compared to Point 'n' Shoots and big howitzer DSL's.

 

Try this sometime -- grab something really old, like a Rolleiflex TLR or a Kodak Medalist or a Box Brownie (anything designed before 1960) and walk around. That'll be more like walking a hyena on a leash!

 

Live well and long,

 

Craig
