There's some great shots there, Mike. Well done. Did you have any problems with people looking at you suspiciously, calling Homeland Security or the like? You just can't trust a guy with a *film* camera. And a guy that also uses *typewriters*? Sounds like a dangerous subversive to me.
I did get stopped by our building security guard when I was taking shots of the corner of our office. He recognized me, though, and we struck up a conversation about the Argus brand ("that's an old name") and his old roll-film camera. It was a moment.
Not too many odd stares this time. I did have a meter slung around my neck and I made a big deal out of fussing with it and the settings on the C3 (which requires a bit of fussing.) Probably didn't hurt that it was lunchtime and in the upper 80s outside, which makes it hard to care about some fool running around town overdressed lugging a big black box around.
Nobody stopped me and accused me of being a typist, nor a typewriter sympathizer.
