    I cannot find it. I think I posted it under "safe haven" thread in the lounge section. Anyhow, I still have it on file on this site, here is the photo winner. CTV London news, he was interviewing one of the occupy people at the time. 85mm Zeiss ZF2, fully open at F1.4 Manual focus. I love Zeiss lenses. I was going to say I love German glass because of the Rodenstock and Schneider lenses I use, but Zeiss SLR lenses are all Japanese made.

    enjoy

    I'd teach the little turd a bit about Capitalism... if he (his family) wants the photo down, tell him that for $(fill in your amount here) you will take the photo down, give him the chrome and any prints, and sign the rights over to him and his family. And don't be stingy with the number

    Unfortunately, your wisdom will go unheeded. This thread was started by, and contains several contributions from, people from that Communist country to the north of you. You know, that country that is in pretty good fiscal shape, and that has a really low murder rate, despite having had universal Medicare, and no capital punishment, for half a century.

    We're generally not real big on calling fellow citizens who disagree with us "little turds". But sentiments like that just might go some ways toward explaining the challenge that your country currently faces. I just hope that you can all get beyond the anger.

    It's got a low murder rate because it's just too dang cold to be out killin' people!

    Anyway, if you're gonna shoot people, shoot 'em with film.

    Back on the original post, I took his threat to mean he and his friends would be camping on your front yard next. But glad it all got resolved.

    Occupy Photography! Maybe we can get some film back in production!

    Canada abolished the death penalty on July 14, 1976. The last hanging was on December 11, 1962.

    Yes, and on July 14, 1967, The Who opened for Herman's Hermits on the latter's U.S. tour.

    The connection?

    Re: What would you do?

    When I was at that concert, I had an odd premonition that we had already seen the last hanging that would ever take place in Canada. Now, reading this thread, I see just how prescient I was...
