He's all of us
Lens: SMC Pentax-M 28mm f/2.8 Camera: k-50 Photo Location: Philadelphia, PA, USA ISO: 800 Shutter Speed: 1/640s Aperture: F8

I do mostly street photography. My two main tools are the Ricoh GR (apsc) and the K-50 with the M-28mm f/2.8 mounted on it. When I am shooting with the m-28, I usually keep the aperture at f/8.0 and the focus distance at around 3 meters. The K-50 with the M-28 yields some incredibly sharp images, and when focus is just right the results are even better than the GR.

This is one of the best street/candid shots I've seen for a while. The B&W conversion combined with the photo's sharpness define gritty reality - the picture really makes you feel for this guy.

Man, you're throwing up some cinematic street photography--even the jaywalking lawyeress is straight out of central casting.

Thanks a lot for taking a look, and for the positive feedback! Waiting for the snow to pass so I can get back out on the streets. The only good thing about being snowed in is that I can practice processing.
