I concur with the others - a worn OM3 has the same kind of serious
style as a battered and muddy Range Rover, a Mac Titanium Powerbook
with worn edges in a rubbed up hand made bag, genuinely tattered
designer jeans, worn and muddy Bally shoes - you get the idea. User
chic. You've got the camera - work on the rest.
A good life gets you brassed up, not brassed off.
