Nice picture. Was the symbolism of the red Stop sign intentional?

No, just a happy accident. These images were shot with my Point&Shoot, and I find it very difficult to control the image on the screen on the back. Fighting with reflections and reading glasses. ;-)

One nice thing about a P&S is they are very inconspicuous.

In this very touristy area, I am sure you blended right in, but a tripod?!?!

Yes, the viewers are terrible, but usually you can actually see the histogram.

Blending in is not the problem with a DSLR there - lots of people run around with them. My problem with the point and shoot is that I can't see the monitor properly without reading glasses. So each image results in a big fumbling around or shooting "blind". But I can carry the P&S around in my pocket all the time and a D200 is a bit bulky while shopping.
