Your portraits are so good - always really
natural. There's none of that "omg he's
got a camera" that seems so tough to
avoid in close up shots.
Are you using a zoom lense from across the
room, or a camera with an LCD on the top so
you can look like you're changing its
settings when you're actually taking a
picture?? How do you get these guys to be so
un-conscious of the camera?

I'm using a 35mm lens (sometimes at 50mm) so
I'm pretty close to my subjects. The Leica is
smaller than a big SLR camera, but I still
have to look through it and it not really
"compact".
I think it's just that I always have my
camera out and I keep taking lots of pictures
until people get sick of worrying about my
camera.
