I took this photograph years ago. I used a big clunky DSLR and at the time it felt like I was trying to not so secretly place a monster white elephant on my lap without anyone noticing. I wonder if a more inconspicuous camera might afford more photographs like this. There are a few I covet, rangefinder type cameras with stealth shutters and smaller lenses. There was music playing in the bar when this photograph was taken, it was loud enough to mask the loud clunking of a mirror shifting up and down inside the body of a camera. That made it easier to hide the elephant for sure. If I could only shrink the elephant down to the size of a charming pig I might get more photos like this. Maybe it's time to adopt a pig.
