I wasn't aware of my ownership, esp. as so often mine, ever so slight,
intrusions with 200mm are considered here to be breaching subtle lines
of privacy, and in comparison with this... BG's is a clear kind of piracy or
worse; however, it seemed obvious that just simple good manners are
applicable universally as a code of conduct, but... he does break them
as a rule, and even claims to be proud of it,

so, where is consistence in such ethics?

In the subway under Grand Central:

Hi Frank,
Quite remarkable that he is allowed to make a complete stage for himself
in the subway. Amsterdam police would have send him away.

His instrument is remarkable as well.

Did he sound good, or did he only look good ?

Thanks for sharing !

There are videos of him on the web.

Google Paganini XXI

His name is Michael Shulman, apparently.

The pictures are interesting. But if you had been standing next to me with the same equipment, you could easily have taken the same shots. This is documentary work, and all the creativity is his performance, which I am happy to share. But you don't feel very creative standing between a bunch of people with P&S's who are merrily clicking away with you. I've got a bigger boat, but it's the same white shark.

'Bistrot: European School of SP' is very classic. BTW what does SP stand for?
fad said:
Chinese artists used to create albums, often each in a different
style, of small pictures. So that is my conceit here --different
takes on the grayness of a gray, overcase day. Though, of course,
this is so rough and improvised, it's not really the same thing, but
maybe the idea of the same thing.

it only be true if your huge boat is used as a mere P&S, otherwise , I'm sorry to say this, it is a big, patronizing BS :) - even with a lowly P&S remarkable captures are being created every day, as we speak even :)

no problem, Frank. any day that no one accuses me of a serious felony is a good day, in my experience of internet message boards -- lol.

JPR 2, my search resulted in a lot of strong criticism of the Kenko 3x -- and TC's generally -- but not from people who actually owned them.

Quercy ,

You know that english isn't my first language, so in order
to be able to comunicate with the members of this forum I asked and received
from Santa Claus a 2 volume dictionary "english-dutch" and "dutch-english"
(11 centimeter of bookshelf-space).

I looked up "magnimonius" but my volumes were speechless.

Now recently I also acquired from some obscure bookseller
the "Cassell's New English Dictionary"
(english-english 9 centimeters of BS-space)

and I had bought it specifficaly to be able to hold my own against your
and frank's verbal dominance, but no answer came from my BS.

In my despair I searched Bartleby's dictionary:

http://www.bartleby.com/cgi-bin/texis/webinator/sitesearch?FILTER=col61&query=magnimonius&x=10&y=12

Oxford Shakespeare:

http://www.bartleby.com/cgi-bin/texis/webinator/sitesearch?FILTER=colShakespe&query=magnimonius&x=10&y=11

also tried different spelling "magnimonious":

http://www.bartleby.com/cgi-bin/texis/webinator/sitesearch?FILTER=col61&query=magnimonious

and even the very modern:"Urban Dictionary":
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=magnimonius

Finaly I let Yahoo's Babel fish loose on your proza, and
"so magnimonius of you, o mighty Host "
was translated to:
"zo magnimonius van u, o machtige Gastheer "

I GRABBED my 3 Volume "Van Dale Groot Woordenboek der Nederlandse Taal"
dutch-dutch dictionary (20 cm of BS) but magnimonious wasn't listed .

So Quercy, all I can answer you is :
Magnimonius yourself !!!

that while I don't consider this to be a very strong image there is at least an interesting side note here. The display of toys that they are looking at is Maya III by Jarvis Rockwell, son of the famed illustrator, Norman Rockwell.

Thanks for the good words, my friend. :-)
