The Money Man
Pretty great weekend to get out and shoot street with a long lens. Covid is still doing it’s job so I figured I’d try my hand at street with the Canon R5 and RF 70-200. It was definitely an odd feel from what I’m used to with the Leica M7 and 35mm Summarit. Regardless it was sunny and great to be out.
Ok, so this guy… I’m posted up on a corner on Broadway and before I got comfortably I say Joe Greer pop up looking for the shot (bottom of the post), well in all honesty I noticed his Lecia M6 first then looked up to see it was Joe. If you don’t know much about Joe Greer and want to see some great work, you can do so now. After a little introduction and chit chat, ALL this money was thrown into the air by who I’m referring to as “The Money Man”. No explanation as to why or for what reason other than he wanted to see people scrambling to pick up $1 bills in the street. Joe and myself ran out to capture it. Fun fact… 70-200mm is not 35mm... I forgot for a second and got up and close to capture what was going down then immediately backup to get a few frames of Joe in the middle of the action. It was a great experience and fun to connect with another photographer that gets it.
