Anyone that has walked in Barcelona with Lluis will attest to how skilled, fast and unobtrusive he is with his street work. On the other side of the world we know that Doug is often actually seen by the animals (he's told us that you really cannot hide) but very often spends hours if not multiple days being in the subject's environment so that they accept him as non-threatening. He is also of course a master of his chosen equipment. Maybe those skill-set descriptions fit both men equally well.
