I think Leonard Cohen will forgive you for it because of the picture of that hot and tired cop. It fits kind of.

These are pretty nice for shooting from the hip.

Thanks! Now, I have to find that song now that it's in my head.

"...then we take Berlin"

Has anyone on the Forum used a Tessina for Hip Shots?
It's a TLR, has spring-motor advance, F-stop and shutter-speed dials, and it's Tiny but gives a big negative. It was made to be inconspicuous, unless you use the wrist-strap and tell people it is a watch.

Excellent work, Joe!!! I'm jealous!

Ok, I hope I'm not gonna insult anyone..

Why the hipshots, shooting people from the back etc.? It's not like these shots, the cop-"shot" exluded(maybe), couldn;t have been shot using "proper" technique and framing. I don't care about having a straight horizon or other compository conventions but where is the interaction? The engagement? This is not a personal attack Joe, as I'm sure you understand. it's more that I would like to hear people's ideas on this..

Cheers,

Onno

no problem onno.

i do/did both - hip shots and 'standard' fare street shots.
i have not processed all the film yet from my manhattan adventure and these happened to be first.

i like the hip shot technique as something different.
the 28 was new to me and i was trying it out.

a bit of fun...

Its certainly not the first time I lost my head. I would like to lose some of my belly as well. 😀

Handsome young man? Wow Joe, thank you. You are definitely on the Christmas list this year.

the cops are sleeping in manhattan?
Nice shots, Joe. The first one is quite well framed and straight too, for a hip shot especially!
