Have two friends join you, one with a professional TV filming camera, and another with a boom mic. No one will even notice you.

Wear an orange vest with flashing lights. Make sure to tape a sign on your back that says "I'll shoot you, so back off!"

Maybe it would work better if you wore all balck. . .

Do it at a huge sporting event where everyone else is doing the same or similar.
At some events you could even do it topless and remain
inconspicuous. (except to me)

with the homeland insecurity and all the vigilant people out and about ALT's idea may not be so wise...but i did get a good laugh out of it...
i wear all black with a black tam. ofcourse so does everyone else around these parts with a camera or sketch book or field easle...i kind of blend right in and no one sees me at all...
that's what is so nice about living in an area where an artist would be hard pressed to stand out, even the orange vest with flashing lights, people would think it was just some other village's idiot here for the summer.

Dress in all gray except for deep red lipstick and dark blue contact lenses.

Wear a really large trench coat and keep your gear out of sight under it (your camera gear too, Lizzie). Get a right angle view finder so you can don't have to raise the camera to eye level or use Live View if you have an articulated screen.

A Romulan cloaking device.

Lizzie,

Always carry the instruction manual around with you in plain sight, that way people will think you're just a wanna be photographer and not a serious one, they will offer their opinions and talk to you and ask you all sort sof silly questions, on the other hand, maybe it aint such a good idea to be carrying your "major investment" around with you in plain sight for some hoodlum to try and wrestle away from you. Now you could try the "golf bag" trick and have a good driver and a nice bronze putter along for the ride so if indeed some hoodlum does try and rob you, you can nail his butt with a 4 wood or even a 9 iron!......then there's the trench coat Idea but thats kinda cleche,.....so maybe you could get you an upright dolly and a large cardboard box that you can just flip open the front side and start taking pictures,.....just an idea !...

Use vanishing cream. I've seen them use it all the time in old cartoons. Apparently, all you have to do is smear it on, and you vanish! You will need to take off all your clothes, though. You wouldn't want to get them all greasy. Then go ahead and walk confidently out in public, secure in the knowledge that anyone who believes in the physics of cartoons won't be able to see you!

Wear a black beret and an armband from the Simbianese Liberation Army. Nobody takes them seriously anymore, so everyone will just leave you alone.

Have Borat walk about 1000 meters ahead of you in his onepiece...no one will notice you at all.

What is that thing Harry Potter wears when he wants to walk around the castle at night so no one can see him? Get one of those--yeah, that's right.

Don't wear a mac and try not to look furtive... above all don't keep your camera gear in a bag marked 'Swag!'.

Alternative - the 'contrarian method'
If you really want to get away with murder wear some joke goofy teeth and get some beer bottle glasses for that ultimate geek-chic look... a bit of dribble on your chin won't do any harm either (a device I use regularly!! :)

Ware a trench coat! HAhahahah

Get one of those "clowns on stilts" outfits. Put the tripod next to one of the stilts. People will be so freaked by he clown on stilts, they won't notice the tripod and camera!
