Now this is a interesting thought, photographer Stephen Gill says he wear a DayGlo west when photographing in public to be left alone. We all know public workers wearing DayGlo, they are everywhere and nobody stop for a moment to think about what they are doing, after all, they are wearing DayGlo. I have a DayGlo west which I have used on commercial shoots now and then.. but the idea is that maybe I can work invisibly wearing it for street photography... this must be tested.
