I think the size of his cannon...er....Canon..is what is making him so 
conspicuous and is what is unnerving his subjects. My reference to the Leica 
RF is not so he can be like HCB, but so he might be less conspicuous. Robert 
Capa's Contax would be fine too. Using a big SLR with a telephoto to get 
pictures of young ladies is paparazzi-ish, not streetphotography-ish.
