2. Ha! What's that about? It's about people having ferked up ideas about other people with cameras.
   Like for instance, I live in a very tourstic place where humanity is divided into three groups: those who were born here, have been here for generations and who have only scorn and loathing for those who come to visit and even more scorn for those who come to live here; those who were born here and live off of those who come to visit but will do anything to distance themselves from the invading hordes; and those of us who were born nowhere near here, love the place and are thrilled that people from all over the world come to visit.
   All of us in these three categories carry cameras at one point or another. The first bunch only uses its cameras to record, as we say, the "vite, morti e miracoli" of their tribe members. The second bunch travels outside the country as often as possible and takes lots of pics of each other in front of palm trees but turns its nose up at people who use their cameras here. This group gives the hairy eyeball to people they suspect as locals using their cameras on the home camp because they can't figure out what they're up to.
   The third group - my peeps - never carry their cameras so as not to be confused with vistors or tourists! Horror of HORRORS!
   So what's up with that guy? I say he belongs to group #2 - the poor lad's just confused!
   Anyway, thanks for this pic - I love pics that have more going on than what meets the eye!
   
   Btw - I'm really diggin' your journal. Thanks!
