This reminds me of another Olympus-related story. I gather that NASA hires
outside photographers to take pictures aboard these flights (no, don't ask, I
don't know how to get picked for this! :), and for every trip, there have
been different photographers, most of whom have the latest and greatest
digital wunderbricks. Although, the one who took my picture might have had
at least a manual-focus camera. I didn't really notice, being a bit busy at
the time, plus she was pretty cute too, but I digress... Anyhoo, once there
was a photog with an OM4 and a 35/2, but I don't think he lasted 10 parabolas
before he was tossing his cookies and had to go back to sit down. I didn't
see him the rest of the week, so never got a chance to talk to him :) Some
people just don't react well at all to the experience.

I completely understand. I'm going to try and get a decent self port. Now,
I just have to find strategic places on my instrument rack to bolt a camera
to!
