A lot of people do speak English which is a godsend for a monolingual person like me!<BR/><BR/><B>Kishor:</B> Me too! I've been a Canon freak since I was about 12! Both my little cameras which I own at the moment are Canons. Apart from some large format Mamiyas and Bronicas which I used to use in a professional capacity, all my 35mm cameras have always been Canon.<BR/><BR/><B>Mise:</B> have emailed you!nzmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03160346268566279764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18927845.post-1159864789132862362006-10-03T10:39:00.000+02:002006-10-03T10:39:00.000+02:00lol nzm, well thanks for that explanation.

The salesmen in their slick suits, sharp haircuts, blackberries, cellphones and computers.<BR/>2. The young staff on the exhibition stands. They're either really keen to tell you all about the product to the point of extreme boredom, or so pissed off that they have to be there that it shows in every gesture they make and word that they utter.<BR/>3. The zealous boffin brigade of (mostly) aging geeks wanting to tyrekick their way around the whole show. They secretly lust after the latest Canon, Leica or Hasselblad, but are only able to afford a cheaper brand with the biggest lenses and flash units that they can find, and which they have conspicuously slung around their necks for all to see.<BR/><BR/>The minority female have 4 groups:<BR/>1. The bimbo models on the stands promoting some camera/brand that they have no clue about, but hey, they look good.<BR/>2. The Mama Photographer who is tagging along with Papa Photographer. They have a little photography studio (often home-based) from which they eke out their living by taking family portraits and wedding photos. Nothing stunning or award-winning - just good bread and butter imagery. They wouldn't be at the show if Papa hadn't wanted to go.<BR/>3. The female sales execs who are there having fun, away from the office. Invariably, they also look like models, but maybe have more intelligence, but you just know that they were chosen to work at the company based upon their looks, and that it makes the company look good to have them present.<BR/>4. The women like J and me who are interested in the technology, but not on every single stand. We go, we see, we leave!nzmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03160346268566279764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18927845.post-1159701008995878552006-10-01T13:10:00.000+02:002006-10-01T13:10:00.000+02:00welcome back nzm.
