He uses a pretty long lens by most street shooting standards.. 85/1.8 for a lot of them. Oh, and the mysterious "Ilford HP4" is his film of choice 🙂 Nice syle though, I enjoyed looking. Thanks!

Some good stuff there. I particularly liked Washington Square Park 1977 near the top. Thanks for posting Oscar! 🙂

No mystery, these are mostly dated 1977 which was about the time HP4 was replaced by HP5 which became HP5+. Now I'm starting to feel old 🙂
