RE: PESO: Pentax girl
Juan, - sorry 'bout my mistake. The logo doesn't bother me, though - it's turning away from me while I shooting :-) I guess Leica users do this to minimize the risk of getting the camera stolen. I have also noticed, that the logo on cars, often gets smaller, as the price goes up. Very expesive cars don't even visible logo or name tag.

Re: PESO: Pentax girl
Went out to farm country today. Done it before, took picture of barn one time while there. Taken pictures of trees, hills, farmhouse, horses, etc. Today I went a bit too late, too many shadows and the shadows got deeper by the time I was done. But I think, even with shadow, this one came out okay. It's a simple image, one I've actually shot before. It would probably be better with more light. Next time I will head out earlier. It calms me to go to that area. Funny, the farmers drive by in their trucks and smile at me when they see the camera (only about six to eight farms around there). Only been challenged once a couple of years ago (when I was taking a picture of a particular farm). Lady (obviously the owner of that particular farm, or co-owner) stopped her truck by me, I showed her the camera, and said, "It's beautiful here -- I just love the area." Never been challenged since. :-) http://members.aol.com/eactivist/PAWS/pages/farm2.htm Comments welcome, naturally. Marnie aka Doe

We had a minor flame war about this several months ago, IIRC, but:
I think the whole "tape up your camera (particularly, but not always
Leica)" thing started a way back before they made black cameras, back
when all Leicas were silver. Guys like HCB (he may not have been the
first, but certainly was into this early on) wanted to look
inconspicuous, so they taped over the silver with black tape, so the
cameras wouldn't be so easily noticed as he moved in and out of
crowds, all the while taking photos.
In the process of taping over the silver portions of the camera, the
logo, naturally, was covered, too.
Even after Leica started making black cameras, some still preferred to
cover the logo, as the brightest thing of the front of the camera.
I've seen several photos of HCB with a black M3 with logo taped over.
I think that's how it got started.
I'm guessing that now people do it for all sorts of reasons, from a
desire to be stealthy, to a "no-logo" anti-corportate sentiment, to
simply being pretentious ("see me? I'm like HCB!").
cheers,
frank

I have no idea what or who a Rolling Redknuckles might be, but it does have a somewhat violent sound to it, no? Panama Red isn't (AFAIK) a singer. When I was a teenager, a long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, Panama Red was a variety of marijuana. Apparently, it was quite potent for it's day (although I'm given to believe that pot generally nowadays is much more potent than it was back then). So, I thought that your alias had to do with rolling Panama Red, as in rolling joints. cheers, frank (showing his age again) -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
