I just love the photo of the guy in the all leopard suit  ;D
I'm not sure he likes it a lot though!

Fun! And btw, the girl in purple in #28 is Susan Dey from the Partridge Family, so it must have been a fashion shoot.

I think the singing musician with the sunglasses might be David Peel.

This is a fascinating collection of photos, although some of the comments added by whoever posted them are a bit dubious. There are tons of great photos, but my fave is #9 which is apparently a view of Midtown.

Has anyone noticed that we don't see many pictures taken with a 500mm mirror lens anymore?

I still have a 500mm in a bag. I rarely use it but it does work very well. And it's even lighter than my little zoom lens!

You're only officially allowed to use them in NYC. Word.

Is it a big one? I had two. One was a monster which I sold when I was given a nice little Tamron.
