Supposedly most people don't even notice, but it probably helps that Bruce is 6 foot tall or thereabout... I was shooting in SF Chinatown today and at one point, I was changing film and I noticed that an older woman was talking on the cell phone. I was just thinking that she has an interesting face and wouldn't it be nice if... "POP" a tallish Asian guy just walked up to within a foot of her, raised a flash with his left hand, took a photo and then walked off. A total Bruce Gilden moment and yes, indeed the old woman did not notice. Still not something I would do though. -- // richard <http://www.richardmanphoto.com>
