The neighborhood gargoyle has gone from a thing I took pictures of for the fun of it to my standard reference target for new cameras or lenses. I've snapped his pic with everything from cell phones to film SLRs, from the bicycle, the Zed Drei, and the Subie.
I figure people who take the time to put shades on the huge gargoyle statue in the lawn aren't going to be put off their feed by the occasional vehicle stopping and cranking a window down to snap its picture.
