I hear you Don. I too always want the camera to get out of the way and let me capture what I see as easily as possible. I've been flirting with a Sony A33 and its an amazing camera, but I'm thinking its gonna go back because its just more than I want to haul around. Even carrying it and feeling its weight may be "in the way" - not sure yet. And given how amazed I am with your vision, PLEASE don't use anything that will get in the way of THAT! I may be wrong, but I think you may have shot that reflection of the building in the puddle along the curb when Emma and I were there, just before we were heading back to the train. You were shooting something down toward the ground to the south along 15th I believe, into the light, and I recall thinking "I wonder what he's seeing over there" but having a lot of faith that it would probably be something good. And if it was that shot, it was more than good. I was over shooting the obvious shots of a mummer or two, a street vendor, etc, and 20 feet away, you were nailing this incredibly beautiful shot of a reflection in a puddle! PLEASE keep whatever camera(s) keep the most direct line open between your heart/eyes and the sensor when stuff like that presents itself to you!
