Bob, I don’t think it’s appropriate of you to characterize the gear-enthusiasts when you played your own part, by releasing a mystery picture that ignited the fire in the first place. For you to tell people to “go shoot” and forget about this whole new gear thing, is hypocrisy. Aren’t you the one testing the unreleased gear and bragging about it? Please… Next time, man up and just keep it a REAL secret, and maybe your rant will be more credible.

Great advice, Bob. Never thought of travel/street photography this way before, not explicitly at least. Thanks!

Hi Bob,

You were my first official photography teacher in SMA ’03. Many travels between then and now. Thanks again for the great send-off. I’ll be in Puebla, Mexico for the first time next month. I hear the tile on the face of old town buildings is marvelous. Thanks for continuing to be the consummate teacher with the reminder to sit and wait for it to happen in front of the “studio in the street”. Suspect Puebla is full of them.

Hi Bob: No worries, but I did mention the helicopter, the Robinson 44, right there in the post:-).

great photos bob, i really like the top one. the world is indeed our studio…so we need to be out there using it instead of researching cameras, but…i do enjoy hearing about your equipment choices. i remember meeting a photographer once whos work i admired greatly. he had a d70 with a 20mm on it that looked like it had fought 3 wars…it was funny when the subject of equipment came up between other photogs he always said you guys know more about all that than i do…maybe…but he knew a lot more about making meaningful,beautiful and touching photographs than everybody around him put together….and once told me he didnt feel he had taken a photo that was worth printing yet.

I’ve only been following the ‘new gear’ chatter recently because: a) my only camera broke recently (a Leica D-lux 3) b) I was recently laid off, and want to spend my severance on my first pro DSLR so I can take a crack at actually shooting for a living, and c) was going to buy a d700 but there seems to be a lot of speculation saying it may be discontinued and replaced with a new model in February, so didn’t want to empty my checking account on a camera that may be discontinued until I see what actually shakes down in February.

That’s a good question re which whirly bird Bob was in. Hope I didn’t sound too didactic. Any time I use the word “should,” I know I’II have to eat my words later. It’s been really a tough business lately for photographers ( if it wasn’t before), so we’re all scrambling for that “edge.” Aside from shooting “poor man’s aerials” (Krist’s words for just shooting from top of buildings), I’II have to eat my words now, look up that very old cribsheet of mine called “Aerial Photography,” and actually get in a plane and try it. So, my apologies to Bob Elkind.
