Ain't it grand, though...I sometimes get the same reaction with 
my rangefinder 35s (and in New York City, no less). 

Keep 'em wondering. :-)

photographer left", he said.  "It's even worse than that" I said.  
"I'm shooting black and white".  At that point his expression was 
something like "Man, YOU ARE NUTS."  He promplty said, "Well, 
I guess I better let you get on with your work.  My wife and son are 
waiting for me in the car."  He turned and left.
