"Nice Camera - It Must Take Good Pictures"

We stayed with some friends at the weekend. I took some photos as usual, and then it came. The remark. "You've got a nice camera. It must take some nice pictures. Can you.....?"

The "Can you" in question was a Bar Mitvah portrait. OK, so I've never been in a synagogue in my life and I've never been commissioned to do a photo before. On the other hand, I was at their place, eating their food and sleeping under their roof, and they're friends. So I said "Yes, I'll give it a go."
