I would check first at your lens manufacturer's website to see if they offer one, then check for possible third party makers.<br />-K.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03687351187791689224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23860865.post-60805982729295702272009-04-24T14:52:00.000-07:002009-04-24T14:52:00.000-07:00Hello again Anon,

No releases or permissions are required of photographers shooting from streets, sidewalks, and public places. If this blog were commercial in nature or I had intentions of selling your image, then certainly I would fee morally obligated to ask permission rather than shoot a candid. At times when an isolated person or grouping of people is the point of interest for a shot and I am so close that I cannot take the shot without drawing attention to myself or being rude I might introduce myself and ask if the person minds my taking their photo. In your case we were literally walking past you when I caught a whiff of your pipe tobacco. I glanced right to see you seated there and turned toward you just long enough to snap this, then moved on quickly with my entourage without disturbing you. I genuinely love people and don't post anything that would intentionally show identifiable people in a bad light. I've not received a removal request in the three years of posting to SDP, but I sure understand if someone would rather not have a photo on a public blog, so just let me know.<br />-KimKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03687351187791689224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23860865.post-84678087629376302112009-04-22T08:00:00.000-07:002009-04-22T08:00:00.000-07:00Out of curiosity, aren't you supposed to get a mod...Out of curiosity, aren't you supposed to get a model-release or a similar permission before you publish my picture?<br /><br />And on a different note: do you know if it is possible to fit MD mount lenses on any digital SLR?

We also prefer Peet's and that used to be the only location in town. Now there's one closer to home so I don't wander in there as much of late, plus our family had given up its frequent Coldstone runs (two of our fave ice cream places closed in the last couple years, so we would end up there by default. <br /><br />Thanks for letting people know your book title. I actually had taken a close look at the image and checked the title out on Amazon.com for possible reading list entry.

Great capture. Right now I'm reading a non-fiction book on the lawless Sierra Madre areas, _God's Middle Finger_ (a rather provocative title). I recently found the mystery novels of Donna Leon and loved them since, like you I usually read non-fiction. Leon's books are murder mysteries, all taking place in Venice. Author is an American who has lived and taught in many countries, esp. Italy. Has a major protagonist who is the focal point and has lots of info on food!

I'm looking for a fiction series for the summer months and will probably choose a classic mystery or spy series. Right now I am finishing Carl Larsson's autobiography.
