And, he's not alone.  This past weekend, I attended an "opening" of a  
new and different art park.  At the end of the guided tour there was  
a Q&A.  There were 4 professional photographers present, one with SLR  
film gear, the other 3 with new digital SLR gear.  The Q&A was in a  
tent, at sundown, with very poor lighting.  I shot with a IIIf,  
Summicron 50, at VERY slow speeds, got some great shots, and 2 of the  
photographers came over to talk to me about the Leica, how quiet it  
was, and they wouldn't have known I was shooting if they hadn't been  
looking in my direction.  (They didn't shoot because the director of  
the art park had asked that there be no flash photography during the  
Q&A.)   The folks sitting right next to me didn't know I was  
shooting, and the Q&A was not disturbed.
