@PDL,
I recently acquired an Olympus E-M10 Mark III and a 50mm f1.7 prime which I'll be using mostly for street photography. It's diminutive size should make it the perfect tool for such occasions. The K1 and modern Pentax glass is great for most other photographic genres but not street, especially if trying to remain inconspicuous.
The Harlem incident; I was out with a Canon 5D and a Canon 70-200L so yeah, I can see how that drew unnecessary attention.
Also just to clarify, but the images in post 22 aren't mine, but Cartier-Bresson's. Not sure if I misread your reply, but either way, credit should go to where it's due.
And perhaps you're right. I think any job that requires one to wear body armor most times when working outside the office will eventually rub off in other aspects of life. I've attached a pic of what I have to wear sometimes. As it is, it already weighs about 20 pounds with just the carrier and plates. And when I am wearing it, taking photos for pleasure is the last thing on my mind.
Anyway, I've got fourteen years left on the clock before I reach my 30 and collect my pension. Trying to pass the time when I'm home by improving my photography skills.
