Juan Buhler's gallery Reception - XPan photos

[didjiman]

We dropped by Juan's gallery reception on Friday Jan 16. Not too many people do what Juan does nowadays - pure street photography in the classic sense. My wife and I informally call this the "Dog series" with dogs peeking out here and there in a number of the pictures.

Juan carries his M8 sling-style, always ready for action. His lens of choice is an otherwise modest Voigtlander 35/1.7. Small, lightweight and does great things under Juan's hands.

It would be nice to see a collection of his photographs in person. I have been a fan of his for some time and purchased his "Street Photographs" book along with one print (http://jbuhler.com/buy/book.html). Very nice (the book is almost a work of art, also)!

Great shots. Lovely tones!

Juan is a really talented photographer - one of those guys that should be much more popular than he currently is. I bought his book a couple of years ago (highly recomended). At the time he shot with a digital Pentax - I didn't know that he switched back to a leica.

His photo of the statue in the courtyard w/ the people talking on cellphones is a classic.
