The Making of "Smokey Coat"

How the winning photo of the "Boats" contest was made

"Smokey Coat"

I am honored and thankful to see Smokey Coat Man on the Pentaxforums Homepage! Congratulations to the other finalists and thanks to everyone who participated and voted in the "People, Candid or Street" Contest 2018!

Candid Street Photography is not new to me. After moving from Germany to New York City (NYC) in summer 2015 I began photographing in public almost exclusively. I trained in various ICP photo workshops and got involved with the local street photo community NYC-SPC. During the years I made a couple of pleasing photos in the capital of Street Photography. One of them is Smokey Coat.
