A Return to Urban Images, the Classic Way

I've stopped shooting modelling photography now and my return is questionable. Instead, I'm now concentrating solely on the images I enjoy shooting; one of them is urban candids, but in the classic tradition of using black & white film and often on a rangefinder (not Leica unfortunately). It does take a little more effort to learn a new method; manual, pre/scale focus on my rangefinders and no zoom lenses. It is more of a challenge to get the image, but more enjoyable and rewarding. Critically sharp images are not what street photography is all about.

Anyway, here's a selection of images I like from me last 2 rolls of film.
