thanks for the reasurances on the longer exposures!!!
i mean if we dig back into history most portrature was done at speeds of over 1 second... there is something about the interaction too with someone when they know that the exposures are longer, the sound of the shutter etc., a kind of complicity... so despite the (justified) reservations, i think i'm going to just take more film along, keep it simple, make 8x10 prints.
