Would you mind if I take your picture and that cool camera?

I turned around and said sure with a big smile. A bearded man with a tanned face and a red jersey. A few days later I found my picture in his website and learned that he quit his job, broke up with his girl friend and has been riding his bicycle around the world.

Great story! But don't kid yourself... they didn't care about the camera. It was you manly physique they were intriqued by. :)

No one ever asked if they could photograph me when I had my shirt off!

Thanks Hugo. Next to 7x11, whole-plate is THE format! :D

I had my 8x10 set up on a bridge in Yosemite National Park yesterday. Three lovely young ladies approached me and one asked how long I had been photographing. Alas, I had to tell them that I had been photographing since before they were born.

Still, they had fun looking at the GG of the waterfall, while I made the lame joke that they got to see the water flowing uphill.

Hugo, nice camera :)

Two leggy beautiful young girls approached me one day when shooting near Brooklyn bridge and asked if they can take a picture, I said yes and put my face near the camera, they looked at each other and one girl said, we only want the picture of your camera :(

I forgot how the rest of day went.
