Just for the record, why does wearing a sweater and not attracting attention in public make one a lousy photographer? You really have me stumped on this "truism". Does one really have to wear distracting, attention-getting clothes to be a good photographer? If so, please tell me what to wear and how to look to improve my game. I hope it doesn't involve face jewelry and visible tatoos. I might have to take up writing fiction, where taste in clothes don't dictate one's talent.
