hi opensecret51 - that's exactly right - you always need your cameras at the ready - you never know when the moment will present itself - as an amateur i've missed so many shots trying to get my carmera out of my bag and its case!

@nickwallacesmith It is beautiful poetry ..I love it ..the city is Amsterdam ..it is said that " Ivens and his team always traveled with their cameras, even sleeping with
them at bedside, ready to capture the effect of the weather on puddles, pedestrians, and buildings
at any moment. "
