This man works with that camera notorious for being 'discreet' and 'invisible'. This nonsense that has accompanied this lovely camera has misled and confused many a young and experienced photographer.

Watch Bruce Gilden - you don't have to like his work, or him, but watch him. Using these so-called 'discreet' cameras, he is working direct and in-your-face.

Pre-focused, pre-exposure and a straight shot in your face! Its aggressive, its direct and its a translation of his vision into specific images.

Forget being invisible, start being risky. Step out, and put that camera in your face and get close to the subjects. Be invisible by being insistent and professional and focused.

I am not a fan of Bruce Gilden's work - not all of it, but he is a good example of what I mean when people start to talk about 'being discreet'.

This is how street photography is done - you are in the action, you are part of it.
