Font, not fountain. That's a baptismal font.

Interesting point. I thought all wedding photographers dressed in black. I've
been told that it's to prevent any reflected light from colorizing the bride's
dress.

Do you wear a dinner jacket if in the evening? (Some people call it a
tux, or tuxedo, from its origin in Tuxedo Park, NY)

Funny how fashions change. When my wife and I fist went to concerts at
Tanglewood, I wore a dinner jacket because we were sitting inside. Even
people on the lawn would wear formal ware and have candlelight dinners on
the lawn. The candlelight dinners are quintessentially Tanglewood, but most
wear shorts. The performers still are formal but only the ushers wear ties.

I went to a dinner in near Beverly Hills, forgot the name of the restaurant,
but everybody wore a tux and the big thing was to be served in the kitchen.

A black scarf can be a handy photographic accessory. You can use it to
set up a small bit of black background, to block a light coloured
accidental annoying reflector, to shroud off the reflections from some
glass you want to shoot through, to shroud your head and screen when
using an LCD in bright sunlight, and so on.

I recall a shoot where the photographer wanted to illuminate all the
small nooks, crannies, and cubicles of a complex interior space and
hadn't enough flashes to cover them all. So he did it at night in near
total darkness, set up the camera with a long exposure on a tripod,
and ran round the lot dressed in black with a black balaclava and
gloves, firing off a a flash gun in each spot. The gun was set to its
local autothyristor control to equalize illumination.

Dressing so as to be unobtrusive depends on the circumstances. At posh
events you can dress like the toffs to mingle or like an event
supporting employee to be ignored. At publicity seeking events all you
need to do is to dress like a photographer In the wild military
style camouflage works best, and you mustn't forget to camouflage the
big white lens

As I've been walking my city lately taking stock photos for our new Web site,
the following thought has occurred to me: if it bothers you to look ridiculous
in public, you probably don't have much of a future as a photographer. :^|
