You can say THAT again...

[Helen B]

It's a close call between the comments like skieur's: 'you didn't take any pictures of me' (after taking plenty with a 35, 28 or even a 24, possibly with a flash) and 'you didn't take many pictures'; and the first one mentioned by wildmaven: 'will those come out without a flash?' to which I usually answer 'I really have no idea' with a shrug of the shoulders. That usually prevents further distraction. Thankfully, most of the time people simply ignore me. That's Plan A.

Best,
Helen
