English SF author Christpher Priest wrote a novel The Glamour about a photographer who had the ability to disappear so completely that no one could understand how he took the pictures he did because they didn’t know he was there. It’s actually a part of the photographer’s skill-set — being able to fade into the background. Your solution — training your subjects to ignore you by simply photographing them all the time — is one wa to go. Another, I find, is to have a camera that you don’t have to hold up to your eyes to use.

Thanks Anna. Glad you liked the pictures. Oh the Good Old Days, I remember them well (he said, stroking his long white beard). They had their charm. But digital photography made it possible to take pictures with no need to worry about cost. So everyone who could afford a camera could also afford to do what the really successful photographers have always done – take a huge number of pictures, but only share the successful ones. 🙂
