Oh, no, I wasn’t carrying 2 cameras, I was carrying the bag plus the camera outside the bag ready to shoot. Don’t you do the same when you use the big camera? Or does your bag have a “quickdraw” feature that gives you quick access to your camera when you need it? ;-)

“Rolls” it is!! Good job, Anonymous Poster! :-D Yep, she’s going to kill you, though she should’ve killed you when you posted that photo and comment. But now she has extra incentive!

Thanks for the camera info. When you carry the big one, do you regret it sometimes? At the amusement park, I had 2 and sometimes 3 straps around my neck (with the addition of a baby gear bag) and I felt like a dork as I saw other unencumbered people shoot photos with pocket cameras. Sure, I can get a pocket camera too, but I like getting the best quality (or at least the best that I can afford) on every shot I take.

gordon - i remember that photo! she was chopping raw tuna, i think, for sushi. unfortunately, i haven’t cataloged my images that far back, yet.

as for carrying a camera around, i have a digital rebel with a 24/2.8 fixed lens. the entire package is in a tiny case. it’s tiny. and i carry that around if I don’t want to carry the larger one around. OR, I use my SD10, which has been going strong for a year and a half now — forever, in the digital camera world. :)

A SF Chron reporter managed to escape uneaten enough to write about it here: http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/arti.....EOJ4R1.DTL
Sounds underwhelming, although it probably had unrealized potential.

I request additional commentary & photos about nice cleavage you may encounter in the future.

I don’t remember seeing Geoff at the time. The line was just starting to move and Livia passed by, heading for the back of the line. Besides, I most likely wouldn’t have recognized him anyway; Livia is more memorable! :-)

I was taking your words and using them in an imaginary sentence. You think I’d be alive right now if I had mentioned another girl’s impressive cleavage to my wife?? :-O

Actually, I remember you posted one photo of Livia that was mostly focused on her cleavage and the caption said something like “Nice, um” plus a word that alluded to her cleavage, but I can’t remember that word and I can’t find that photo. Do you remember? I think she was in the kitchen preparing a dish.

And yes, I did draw my own conclusions from your photos! :-D

Yeah, I didn’t think you’d be without your camera! So I have a question: How do you carry your camera on your everyday activities? And what do you bring with it? I visited an amusement park recently and schlepped around a Rebel with a Tamron 28-75 plus a flash and a camcorder in a medium-sized bag with extra batteries and other junk and I wasn’t too happy! It was a hot day, and with the bag and camera hung around my neck I thought that there must’ve been a better way.

By the way, Vienna’s looking very pretty there! Dare I say hot? Nah, better not!

thank you VERY MUCH for those numbers and websites.

Here's what it said about last night's problem:

[SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA]
IS CLOSED TO EASTBOUND TRAFFIC FROM THE JCT OF US 101 TO 7TH ST
/IN SAN FRANCISCO/ (SAN FRANCISCO CO) FROM 0100 HRS TO 0600 HRS TUESDAY THRU
FRIDAY THRU 9/23/05 - DUE TO CONSTRUCTION - A DETOUR IS AVAILABLE

I tried to get on the bridge before 1am. I guess they started early. :(

Well, only 5-7 more years of evening traffic hell. :)
