If you are as big and imposing as Shel or I, folks try to just ignore you and hope to not draw any extra attention to themselves.

I'll try that, but I am going to have a go at something else first. A few
miles from me is one of the worlds longest markets (Walthamstow High Street)
and an absolute delight for the street photographer. What I have noticed is
that people get quite miffed when being photographed using a 35mm camera -
obviously there is a talent to this which some of you have and I don't - but
they ignore it when the camera in question is MF. With that in mind I shall
wander about nearer Christmas using the 67 and just to be really subtle,
I'll put on a Hi-Vi jacket as well.
I bet no-one says a word to me and lets me take pictures without being challenged.
Malcolm
