New York Chinatown- Holga "Shot from the Hip"

While in New York to see ASHES OF TIME REDUX I took some pictures in Chinatown. A friend suggested I "shoot from the hip" rather than holding the camera at eye level. I used an adaptor that allowed me to hold the camera by my hip and in my other hand a device attached to a cable that went to the camera's shutter which let me take pictures. It wasn't as secret agent like as it sounds. People saw I was taking pictures and paid little attention to me.
