Two shots from last Sunday. The 'LOOK' sign on the street seems to reinforce how society seems to 'look' the other way regarding the less fortunate.
The expression of longing on the girl that is sitting while she looks at the girl standing speaks volumes....she (sitting) has almost nothing while the other is wearing designer jeans, has an iPod, and has been shopping. She totally ignored the girl sitting. 
I wanted a shot that reinforces the way society tends to ignore the poor.

That last shot is amazing. I love how you have the contrast of the LOOK + cars moving around unoticing the poor lady in the corner + RBC Bank in the back (intentionally or not)... Just great.

Didn't want to create a new thread so I'll just continue here.
Practicing being inconspicuous and getting pictures from down low with my wide.
I wrapped the strap around my hand twice, let my hands down and turn it backwards while I'm walking and just click away. 
Works well for stuff in front of me too... 8-) 
This guy was sleeping by his stand....corner of Granville/Robson. 
And finally they were very engaged in conversation.  | |

Nice, kevin! The last one would've been so much better w/ some DOF!
i did some street photography downtown on V-day. I've posted the pictures already, but if anyone wants to look, they're on my flickr! http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidht...7613886145854/ | |

Nice street photography Senna! I find it tricky with my Canon white tele! I would be interested in a street photography prime lens. What would everyone suggest on full-frame? 85mm 1.8? 135 F2 L?

Don't hide behind a big telephoto lens. :P

Get close to your subject/s. Anything from 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm would be ideal. Don't be a sniper from across the street...get close, even engage your subjects in conversation. Don't use a big SLR if possible. I find using my Leica with the 35mm f1.4 the ideal set-up. It's small, quiet and unobtrusive.
Some with my Leica M6 titanium, 35mm f1.4:   
Going close with a wide angle - 17-35mm f2.8:
Hey, what's he looking at? 
Ah, I see....

I just got back from San Diego so I'm still processing photos. But here are 2 photos of very different photographers.
I had to take a photo of this guy since I found him quite amusing. Nice suit and kung fu pose. 
I was at the Wild Animal Park shooting photos of the elephants and ran into this guy. Chatted with him a bit about gear. He's using a Nikon D300 and a 600mm manual focus lens in this shot. He's also has another Nikon D300 with a 300mm lens around his neck as backup. There's another Nikon D200 in his bag as backup. The stuff weighs a ton but he said once he sees his photos, its all worth it.  | |

I still can't believe he's using it for portraiture. Doesn't look to be a very sharp lens.
