When people > (John Q. Public) look at someone taking photographs, they look at the > photographer, NOT THE CAMERA. Two reasons that I have, on occasion taped my cameras: 1) when working in a known high-crime area, I want to make the cameras look as shabby and unidentifiable as possible. While John Q. Public may look at the photographer, John Thief Doe will look at the hardware and the software to determine his/her moves. 2) when working in very dirty and/or dangerous situations, where I know the cameras will be swinging and hot metal, soot and fine dust will be flying (this is also when I'll put a UV filter on the lens).
