Wife shopping, guy on a Bike

NB23 said:
Some time ago, on a nice day I stopped at a storefront with my M4P in my right hand. I was waiting for my wife while she was shopping. Then a guy with a bicycle asked me if I was holding a M4. I told him "No, I'm holding a M4P". He told me he had many Ms, he gave me his card and he left. All this lasted 5 seconds.

He was a human being, he wore glasses. He was probably a canadian. He looked very normal. Y'know, a nose, two eyes, a mouth. Two hands. And yes, two legs and feet.

I know, super boring story.

But since he was a Leica user I thought some of you, Human beings and Leica users around the Globe, would appreciate to see pictures done with a Leica, for a change.

I know, I know, super boring story.

You really shouldn't take cards from strangers. If that had happened in my neck of the woods, you would have waken up in a third class hostal, with a large, roughly sewn scar and minus a kidney... and your M4P

BTW how much can you get for a kidney down in your neck of the woods?
 
Hey Ned, didnt you post this story/encounter a couple of months ago? Reason I remember is because that was when I first discovered Zimbel's photos for the first time.
He is a great photographer!
 
Willie 901 said many of the shots weren't sharp at all. I know this was satire, and I appreciate that, but truthfully many of the shots weren't super sharp, the metering was questionable, and they're still better shots than 99% of us will ever do. It shows you the value of having the most ultra sharp lenses and Photoshopping your shots to get the last ounce of detail. I've often thought that great photographers were born, not made.

WTF? You're my hero.

In my neck of the woods you should accept cards from strangers at all times. And if you're lucky enough to have a card handed by a gangster, You could wake up with 5 girls in a hotel room, having the blast of your life, all for 100$ and a box of domes.

Tell me, is scurvy a comon illness in the Bidonville you live in? Just curious...

I'll tell you what happened. What was a tribute post to a photographer I met on the street turned sour after some people decided I was an anti-semit. I have no idea why I'm supposed to be an anti-semit. Especially since I just came back from shooting a bar-mitzvah.

But now, the same guy that called me an anti-semit is now calling Zimble an Ape.

Can you believe this?
 
Dude!

Ned, that's really funny and creative. However, in a week or so are we gonna get a post from someone claiming to be your wife and stating that the whole story is invalid because she was buying and not shopping.

why do you say he is looking very normal with two eyes, two legs... you try to discriminate people who are missing eye or leg... you try to say they are not normal ?

:D
 
I thought the thread said "wife swapping", and I thought, wow, you guys find so many uses for the humble rangefinder! :rolleyes:

At least that Bidonville isn't Sarajevo : the thick-skinned Serbs bombed that f***d-up Bidonville so hard, that it's now a plain green grass field.

Hmmm... wonder if we should accept cards from muslim Bosniacs.

:p

PS : Sjdan, I'm kidding... :D
