Subject: [Leica] This may be the worst idea ever for a street photographer

Beyond the fact that it attracts attention - which a 'street photographer'
doesn't want - I wonder if these self-important idiots have ever stopped to
think about the fact that the term street photographer means nothing to
99.9% of people on the street. Oh, wait! Street photographer? Isn't that
someone who takes your picture with a cut out of George Bush, or Michael
Jackson, or Ansel Adams? :-)
