yeah. I would like to give him the benefit of the doubt considering the gravity of this particular situation, but I'm afraid that you are right. He's terminal.

When you clutch your Leica like that when you already have wide glass around your neck, it's a dead giveaway. I used to have friends who trotted around like that to look pro.

I never had that much crap hanging off of my neck.
