[LargeFormat] Rites of passage

[rstein]

Dear Nephew Dan,

     Your story is both amusing and disturbing. Apart from the thought that
a spy using a large format camera on a tripod to record secret information
out in broad daylight on a public highway would seem to be somewhat of an
operational mistake, spy-wise....why would it take the johns two hours to
establish that your apparatus was not harmful? Look through the ground
glass, Officer.

    Did they let you take the picture in the end? If they did, make a couple
of prints and send them to the station house.
