<<i have black tape over my logos and it's one of the best things i've 
ever done. why?

- -it's even less conspicious as normal so i feel even more comfortable 
than normal taking it *everywhere* i go. I mean everywhere-even to 
the grocery store, etc..

- -i think it looks cool. more grass roots gung-ho photojournalist-like.
Back in the days when I used to cover my cameras in blask tape so I could 
work unobtrusively, people continually approached to ask why I had covered my 
camera with tape.  So I stopped covering my cameras with tape.  Now, nobody 
asks me about anything except where did I get that cool vest.

- -i don't need to display fancy logos to make good pictures, i just 
need to be as comfortable as i can with my equipment. the black tape 
makes me feel more comfortable.

- -someone spotting me from across the street just sees that i'm taking 
pictures. without the black tape, they see that i'm taking pictures 
with a leica, there is a difference.>>
