The picture of health, a photo by SL_Photos on Flickr.
I could have called this one "Chinese Ham" - the camera came up and this guy was instantly on a stage playing his part. The "Health Source" sign in the background is a nice little touch. This was taken during a photowalk in Chicago's Chinatown as part of the Eric Kim street photography workshop. I'll be writing more about this fabulous experience later, once I free up from my busy (non-photography) work schedule.
From this point forward I will no longer put my gear list for each shot on the blog. I'm done thinking about equipment, I need to focus on the shot & the vision. I will say that I used a 35mm prime lens, this focal length (along with an ultra-wide) seems to be the ideal lens for street photography. It's just wide enough to pull in more of the surrounding environment than a 50mm, but not so wide that you have to worry about extraneous elements poking their head into your frame.
