Response to "Street Photography"

from jason gold (jason1155234@webtv.net)
I have done street photography both professionally and because i love do`ing it{amateur}.I have snapped in Toronto and indeed found the Rollie perfect with its semi- wide angle lens.Towards Chinatown its preferable to be a bit "sneaky" so that one can get unposed pix.I was once chased by a very angry old lady selling vegetables on the sidewalk.Much merriment by the passing crowd!Favorite camera is Leica M3.One lens.50mm and 400 speed film in color print or b/w.The Leica allows you to get really close You feel you have right to invade someones space.I have asked at Leica sevice about this...they were all Germans.I felt with the M3 in hand one had the perfect camera to tour Europe. Poland/Holland/Belgium/France..Russia?They all agreed!So "it" comes with the camera.I noticed a friend had a Canadian M4 and it was definitely neutral.Get close,talk to people,get involved in whats happening!Sometimes you may simply wish to steal a snap,without the chat.Go ahead.Certain people love being photographed.Go ahead.SEND Prints if you promised.Walk carefully and good hunting!
