Lovely movement from shadows to highlights in the Sicilian portrait, Shadowbullet.

I find the fixed 28 compels me not only to get in close to live subjects--not natural for my habitual comfort zones--but also offers opportunities to make street portraits that give plenty of isolation and space around a subject. This translates for me into room for meditation for the viewer, without (so to speak) taking him by the neck and pushing him face-first into a confrontation. (I have to admit that the first example below does this better in the original than in the dimensions it takes on in RFF.)

It likes getting closer, though, while preserving some context and separation of space:

Sometimes, when I go through my archives, I think about changing the X100 for a GRD IV...

Here's one from the II

Just got a GR-D II, my first P&S since my Minilux' shutter died. Really great to use.

GFEVAN,

Beautiful work. I love the feel of your image.

Are you handling your black and white conversions in camera or using some sort of post processing (Lightroom/Silverfast etc.).

B.... Thanks. I adore the GXR's as it doesn't get much better but...
the GRD4 just has Street Mojo oozing from it.

I hated the first GRD3 I had, but that was more due to the place I was living, as it was not conducive at all to photography-- especially wide angle photography. The second GRD I had, I loved-- probably due to the fact that I was living in a large city that had a warm climate.

I just traded the GRD3 for a Canon S95 so I can record video while traveling, but I have a feeling I'll own another in the future:

almost looks like film...
