I am not really new to photography in general, but I rarely tried to take pics of people on the street with no real purpose (meaning - publication, story, etc). On vacation this March, I tried to do some street photography and here are the results:
The Flickr Set
I only brought the D700 and a 35mm/85mm with me. That's a pretty hefty setup. Got some funny looks, esp. since I didn't really speak with anyone and acted very touristy.
Best regards,

The best camera is one that still works!
These are very nice IMO and further proof that you don't really need a sneaky little camera to get great street shots! 
Incidentally, how were your black and white conversions done?

Thanks Keith!
I used Silver Efex 2 for the b/w conversion. It is so easy to get carried away. I only realize once prints are made how fake some look
BTW, did you get you X100 yet???

Somewhere in cyberspace my name is on a list ... that's as much as I know.
Regarding your black and white conversions ... I thought they were very nice.

There's some very good shots - but really too much pictures in your set IMO -
You might have a tighter editing.
The main interest is the quality of your eyes - you're a photographer -
The main default is that damned zoom : a lot of pictures are cropped (and certainly re-cropped at the editing, plus too much different focal lenght and your "no purpose", and it's… boring.
The spectator (me, at least) can't fix is attention and interest - a lot of different post-processing effects, no narration also in your album, then :
Too much reasons to leave!
I'm not sure that "street photo" is a subject in itself - to have a concept and more unity will give your set more intersting.

I agree ... that shot really stands out as extra special!
I've taken the liberty of inserting it in the thread because it deserves a little extra attention IMO. I hope you don't mind ... I can remove it if you do.

Thanks Keith. It was a lucky snap. There was another one, a little father away, but someone's head got in the way
