i use an olympus e-10. it's a digital SLR. totally worth the investment.

whoaaa! digital SLR, that sounds hella expensive but the results are nothing short of FUCKIN AMAZING. though i think i'll stick to my mini digicams for the time being (mainly due to lack of funds) and also cus i like the covert aspect of the whole thing.

wow.. incredible. Did he object to photographing him? I rarely take more than one photo of street people, even with telephoto lenses. I dont want to draw attention to myself.

ian: i asked him and he said okay. i was right up on him , lens less than a foot away from his face. i'm used to photographing people in the streets now. i just ignore the attention drawn to me - i've come to realize that the attention is very temporary - as soon as i leave that space, those people will probably never see me again.

i also have covert technqiues for public photography when i need it.
