Apart from one day, I either carried my bag or just an M6 with the 35 summilux on my shoulder. My girlfriend and her parents got a bit pissed off with me aimlessly walking away from them to get street shots. However, one day i walked straight into a street demonstration and had a great time! It was boisterous but not really violent and i got some great shots of both bystanders and participants. However on the one day that i succumbed to pressure and left 'that bloody toy' at home I missed a shot of an easter procession collapsing as three different processions collided - complete with dropped jesus pallaquins and crosses being used in very un-Christian ways!
