The Ricoh GRD IV, I love this little camera. I wanted and still do want a Leica M9 but I don't have ten thousand USD to spend on it now or ever but I wanted a camera that is small, doesn't make a lot of noise or no noise and is unassuming. The Ricoh fits the bill.... I was inches away from this guy, he was so into this newspaper he didn't pay me any mind. The wide angle of the Ricoh 29mm allows you to really get close to your subject. the light bouncing off the newspaper opened his face up nicely...

ReplyDeleteI can tell you are enjoying the Ricoh now. So much possibility in your hand! This old guy is such a typical English old man with his cap and paper! Excellent capture of 'normal' British life gerry.
