We all know each has it proper place. So let's not go there, OK? I just thought it was a fun encounter some of you might enjoy hearing about. /matt On Wednesday night I went to Karaoke Night at Mainly Lou's. 'Round midnight I was standing near the stage when a young couple (20s) walked by and stopped when they saw my camera. They both seemed to know a bit cameras because they began pointing at my Bessa R. (I am not yet brave enough to take my new M6 into a boisterous, beer sloshin' bar.) "Cool... I have been wanting one of them," said the man. The woman chimes in with, "Yes, a rangefinder! ...the hell with SLRs." Then they promptly disappeared into the crowd as a woman sang a respectable rendition of "Killing Me Softly."
