Dave, I think the blacks are the big thing that I notice, like in the eye patch a few photos back. Also I'm sorry for causing problems with my comment on the Vietnam war. It was a Terrible & Pathetic war, but those who served there were very brave (much braver than me) and many of them had no choice, since it was either serve or go to prison (unless you were like Bush, Cheney, Rove etc.)
Hey Dave, I am delighted that you are shooting film again. I was at an event today with a bunch of digital shooters, big Canons (1DS?) and a few D70's. I commented that film was the new cutting edge. They looked at me like I was nuts.
Matt, I think that by requiring a login, there is less of a tendency for any politic stuff to devolve into name calling. As I remember it - you wrote about an incident that happened when you were photographing a torn American flag.
You might have run into the same trouble photographing a cup of coffee. That's the way it is nowadays.
I was out in the murk last night photographing a newstand when a woman walked by and yelled that I had no right to take pictures on the street. Well, actually she yelled, "hey - what are you taking pictures here for?"
I did sort of wonder about that myself. Could I explain that I was shooting another roll of Tri-x at f1.4 and that I was still experimenting with development times?

I like that "cutting edge" remark and can see it as a movie title:
FILM - THE CUTTING EDGE
See the exploits of the Rangefinder Army as they come up against the strongest movement in photographic history. Watch as they hope and pray that their materials are still available. Gasp as form small outlawed groups.

Damned close Roy. This was shot in very flat lighting - overcast. If this combo works in a more contrasty scene - then I'm a happy camper.
