A 67 with a wooden grip looks a more imposing camera, which from observing peoples reaction to a large camera, seems to give the impression that you are working for a company with a legitimate right to be there taking pictures. The reality that most companies - who do send people out to take photos of either highway or infrastructure - now use point and shoot digital cameras, seems not to matter! > If you are as big and imposing as Shel or I, folks try to > just ignore you and hope to not draw any extra attention to > themselves. Some of the areas I like taking photographs in are very high street crime areas. Drawing attention to yourself lowers the chance of being a victim and although I am physically big, I get breathless very easily, so I'm a soft target. Malcolm
