Do you mean not to carry a money belt or fanny pack? We carry use a money belt (zippered pouch with an elastic waistband worn inside the pants) to carry our important items (passport, railpass, most of our cash, etc). If we need discreet access, we'll typically slip into a washroom stall.

Other thoughts...
- Personally, I don't bother "hiding" my camera. It's a bit of a trade-off buy I usually keep it in my pant pockets for easy access.
- Kind of stupid looking but I walk around with my hands in my pockets in crowds of people.
- I also carry a small backpack with a half dozen zippered storage areas. I keep most of them locked with a small three digit combo lock.
