Candid portraits have truly grown on me and I think its a style that really has the ability to truly connect with a human, especially someone on the streets, its a new vibe, and one that I think street togs should incorporate into their visual stream, or at least try some.
Anyway, another “classic grd” moment I think. Let me lay out the scene. I saw Captain Cane across the street and as soon as I saw him, I just knew I had to have a frame. I walked up right up to him with my camera at chest level which I literally pulled up a fraction of a second before capturing this frame.
Captain Cane — Ricoh GRD III
Once again, I can not explain how versatile the Ricoh GRD III has become into my tool arsenal. Without hesitation, a digicam all street togs should add to their gear bags.
I hope you all had a great Labor Day and let’s keep the streams going.

Very nice portrait. Excellent contrasts.
Excellent shot. Great sentiments; well said. When I go out with my bag now, I have the GRD III around my neck with a Ricoh neck strap, so that I always have something at hand on the streets.
guau, realmente bien hecho, un gran trabajo, fabuloso retrato
Great street portrait!
Agree with what you’ve said. May be a new direction for me.
