Challenges of Stealth Photography

I saw a really cool toque on the bus the other day that I just *had* to take a photo of. However, I didn't really want to be seen taking the photo.


Dang... why did the camera have to choose the close focal point?


This is no good at all!


Good focus, the bar isn't in the way... but not that great a shot of the hat. Please look at me! (Well, not at me, but in my direction.)


Yes! (Not the pretty smile that was in the first photo, but I finally caught the hat! Now to put the camera away before *I'm* caught!)

The hat looks to be store-bought, mass-produced, but probably by an indie designer, kind of like the Ugly Dolls. She had one matching mitten, and the other mitten was a donkey. Way cool. (The mittens were too hard to photograph without specifically *asking* if I could take photos.)
