Its like I'm a surveyor or engineer or something. The very nature of hand held photography lies in unobtrusiveness and I have found you walk in the room with a camera and all eyes are on you.

It's how you respond to the enviornment that does the trick. Act like a predator trying to sneak a photo and people will see it right away. We still have some survival instincts. Put the camera on a tripod and there's no way you can sneak - but working without a tripod doesn't force anyone to become predatory.
