Speaking of hooligans... I was walking through Lafayette park across
from the White House and was attacked by an angry homeless guy. The
secret service was there immediately and assured me that everyone one
was going to jail if I whacked him with my Sachtler. I was just seconds
from doing just that. In hind sight it would have surely been ugly had I
hit him with it.
I remember seeing monopods used by still guys on the sidelines at NFL
games in the astrodome. They used those huge white canon lenses and I
always thought it was about the weight. It certainly wasn't slow shutter
speed!
