I'm doing some research on the topic of street photography and the question has several parts. The first,to keep it on topic, is what Pentax camera and lens(es) make the best street shooting combo and why? Pop Photo just did and article on street photography and mentioned the K1000 and a 50mm f2, if I remember correctly, as a good option if you can't run out and buy a Leica M7.
Probably an MX with a 40/2.8 pancake
The second part would be who is your favorite street shooter, past or present, and why?
Gary Winogrand, i like how at a first glance alot of his images just look like snaps, but when you look further into the image they are quite complex. Also his managed to capture beauty, ugliness and humour in everyday scenes.
I guess a third part would be, do you have a favorite street photo web site or email list?
Favourite List would be the SP list on Topica and favourite sites would be: http://www.pinkheadedbug.com http://www.nolllluma.com/index.htm http://www.beeflowers.com
