Let's just say many of us on the list express their preferences in ways that are outside the norm (and I don't mean Baugher, who has his own uniqueness!)
Cotty cuts up and adapts lenses; Cesar likes snakeskin; Juan likes gaffer's tape; I use plastic can lids for lens hood caps; Some use rubber bands to hold their cameras together; This is a large and individualistic list. There are even those who make photographs on a regular basis. Let's cut this gaffer's tape crap and accept that creative and artistic people are going to do things a little differently than the average Joe or Josephine. BTW, I found a place that sells gaffer's tape in a variety of colors, so for those of you who want to tape your cameras, but were put off by the dullness and somber use of black tape, here's a chance to inexpensively add a splash of color to you prized cameras. Good for holding your nerd glasses together, too.
