Re: [HUG ] Re: The Swedish SquareMark,
I worked in The Camera Shop on Green Bay in Wilmette when I was in high school
at New Trier. I thought it was heaven -- I could look at, and sometimes
handle, all the Leicas and I got a big discount on film and darkroom chemicals.
There was an elderly man who also worked there part time who liked to show me
the nudes in Grosbild Technik, which were something not seen in American
magazines then, the early 60's. Art, the owner, retired many years ago to fish
in Wisconsin. You missed out on a great experience.

I always wanted to work in a camera store since I was 13.
Still may it seems often there's a good chance I may.
I wanted to work in the Glencoe Camera store.
Its a starbucks now I went back and visited.
North Shore Chicago.
Now I'm on the upper west side NYC.
All the small cool camera stores are shells of themselves and not really
around.
Not sure if the real big ones would work out for me.
Normally in any sales job I outsell everyone in the building.
I could sell an ice cube to an Eskimo.
But who knows maybe I've lost my touch.
