i haven't got mine back yet (just arrived back in san francisco yesterday
evening after spending about 20 hours in transit, including our v e r y 
s l o w 4hour-drive to heathrow), but i was surprised to see people losing 
their cameras all around me while i was miraculously allowed to hold
mine aloft two-rolls-worth without so much as a glance from the heavies. 
perhaps i'm invisible, or maybe the bouncers were just afraid of me.

hey! i thought i was the only person to have that happen!
jeez, those swedes sure get around.
