Of course, some of us have the luxury of only shooting "internal" 
assignments. The we can limit ourselves to a more limited camera, like 
those tiny peephole cameras they call LTM. I never saw the usefulness of 
such cameras. They complain about the M6 viewfinder being .72, then 
blissfully work with one of those cameras that make the Contax G1 look like 
eye relief! Such complaints about SLRs being so un-photographic are awfully 
funny.

Always be on the lookout for conspicuousness (or, It's hard to tell if 
someone is inconspicuous).
