[Leica] More from the glorious days in Barcelona

[jsmith342 at gmail.com (Jeffery Smith)]

The documentary I saw on James Nachtwey made me think that he was about as 
subtle as a photographer could be with a huge dSLR and gunfire all around 
him. His "dress code" is pretty subtle. 

We had a somewhat contentious thread a few years ago after a photographer 
was told to stop photographing people on his lunch hour using a big dSLR and 
big zoom lens. My recollection was that he really conducted himself in an 
"in your face" fashion that made his subjects angry. I sort of agreed that a 
street photographer should not be "disturbing the peace", but others were 
not in agreement with me. 

If someone can disturb the peace with a Leica RF, or a Fuji X100, then 
he/she's way too obnoxious to be a street photographer. Luis looks and 
behaves like a gentilhombre, and that surely helps.

Regards,

Jeffery
