Yeah, that image thing, it's kind of funny how equipment can do that. Back during the Atlanta Olympics I was wandering around with a friend and shooting some video. I was not working at all, just shooting for myself, but had a large SVHS camera on my shoulder and was wearing a photo vest, so I guess I looked the part. All over Olymic Park, people would wave whenever I pointed the camera. Several times women who were obviously beauty contestants or models working some event or another, dressed to the nines would begin posing whenever I came by and one time while shooting a fountain, security actually prevented people from walking in front of me. Almost like being a celebrity myself!
