I'm intrigued by how you got a terrific shot like this. You obviously don't know the guy, but you are very close to him, aiming a 55mm lens at him. But his expression and reactions seem to be as though you are not there. It does remind me of some of Gary Winogrand's shots. Here is one of Winogrand's student's description of how he shot on the street:
"We quickly learned Winogrand’s technique–he walked slowly or stood in the middle of pedestrian traffic as people went by. He shot prolifically. I watched him walk a short block and shoot an entire roll without breaking stride. As he reloaded, I asked him if he felt bad about missing pictures when he reloaded. “No,” he replied, “there are no pictures when I reload.” He was constantly looking around, and often would see a situation on the other side of a busy intersection. Ignoring traffic, he would run across the street to get the picture.” – Mason Resnick
Finally getting to go through some recent shots. These were with the Tamron 60B 300mm f/2.8 hand held. It's a nice lens, but a bear to work with. Handles CA okay, but best to avoid very high contrast situations.
I have to say just some fantastic images being posted. I really envy the time you have to get some of these great images. I wish I could travel more to some of these places you folks are getting too. I miss doing workshops as they where great places to shoot. Need to set one up
Always greener on the other side Guy. I wish I had more time to keep working for hire.
Playing this morning for a few on the way into work. A7II with Contax G 90 & 28.

Impressive images in the last few days! I was hesitant about posting my pictures (trivial if compared to such scenic landscapes) but it is something different from me, so...
