NOW I know who you remind me of...LOL...it's Gollum :pp Just kidding :p And yawp, I can relate to that. I had some really bad experiences in LA with this and decided from there on to leave the camera at home. I've always been a bad tourist because of this. The last time I took some neat piccies on my travels I was 16 and it was down in Tunisia. Since then it's been very sparse and after LA I feel like I'm holding a gun instead of a camera in the streets. It's a shame because Robin (or Greywulf here) have some stunning street photo's of people and I would love to try it out a bit more than I already have. People around here (in England) are probably the most polite people I've ever met, but I still feel like I'm invading their privacy. Maybe this comes from being a bit camera shy myself, I dunno. Whenever Robin is pointing his camera at me I feel like he's breaking through my personal limits...which is silly since I'm sharing everything else with him on a much more intimate level than that. Ok...now I'm turning into a rambling fool. Enuf about that :pp Christa
