You guys have absolutely no idea how I work. I will do as suggested earlier and let my photos speak for themselves. If I have a chance before I leave for India, I'll put up photos to illustrate what I've been trying to say. I should have done that in the first place instead of trying to talk to a brick wall! Tina my dear, Save the time and effort because some of these word and concept twisters have absolutely no idea what it's like to document subjects in your manner simply because they're not brick walls, they're brick brained! Hell even when one explains exactly how a technique can work allowing one to shoot in an "invisible" oops! OH, sorry I wont use that word, as it seems some have tight under shorts over the word and they're all singing soprano over it. OK let's try this: A lesson on how to "Shoot in an unobtrusive manner and not have anyone in the room relate to the fact there's a photographer clicking away." What I find unfortunate is, not one person responded to a simple lesson on how to make discreet, unobtrusive, invisible? shooting techniques work! But continue with the stupidity of "you can't be invisible, how do you know what they're thinking and every other wiener idea of insipid stupidity possible!" Save your breath and energy girl, have a great shoot in India! ted
