Oh, absolutely, it's so easy to move around quietly and unobtrusively with
your camera on a tripod. Isn't that how HCB and Salgado have gotten some of
their best stuff? Tina, isn't that your solution for shooting in near dark
in mud-floored shacks in Central America?;-)

Maybe a carbon fibre tripod with magnesium ball head would have been just
