I dislike photography snobs. When I’m out doing street or urban I invariably spot someone doing likewise. I like to have a chat but don’t try to judge me on my gear or setup, especially if you have black tape on the manufacturers logo of your camera.
I did that with duck tape and my backpack and discman to keep from getting targeted by the various shenanigans going on at Greyhound stations back in the day (late 90s/early 2000s). It worked pretty well.

There is absolutely too much gatekeeping in photography.
What’s the deal with the gaff tape on the logos anyway?
I know some people do it to make their shit look beat up to potentially prevent theft. No idea how effective it is.
