Nonsense, Bob. A well worn Domke bag is essential, and one's cameras
must be black and show a reasonable degree of wear, including
brassing.  Black painted metal film cans taped to the neck strap are
very helpful, too.  One must carry at least two cameras, preferably
three, each with a well-used prime lens.  A long tele lens is the mark
of an amateur as it indicates a fear of getting close to the action,
ands, as Capa said, ya gotta get close to get good pics.
