And it was probably a wise decision to rely on the small and unobtrusive Oly - the more normal you look the less interest you attract.

Even then, the neighborhood wasn't too bad. Paul: I used to shoot nothing but FP4, but I really think that HP5 is now my favorite Ilford film, and I really like it at either 400 or 800. Can't wait to more of your images, gents.

I'm still forming thoughts on that other thing. I've been looking at the images, remembering the conversations, and thinking about my impressions. Maybe I'll post it tomorrow. I'll let this one settle and get responded to, first. @Tom: Oh, you bet that I do. I’m still forming thoughts on that other thing.

But I just know you have a few more of this street to develop/post/write about. What a great memory. That was a highlight.
