I am vey happy for having found you. What I liked the most of the video is, how modest, quiet and clear you are and how great you talk about the matter! I am starting again with photography, and would love to get sooner than later a Fujifilm for street pictures. However, I also love color landscape, architecture and wildlife photography too. For my little budget to start, I am getting an eye on the Sony DSC RX10 Mark IV which is a complete package from wide angle to 600 mm zoom, special for wildlife but capable on many other types of photography, I will test how it works for street photography too which some videos explain that it workds very well. After I get this camara, will go finnally for a Fujifilm X-T3 II or maybe the X-S20. Their color specs and those film simulations have made me very much interested in having one. I am not a videographer and will never be, but, I am willing to start the photography as it it my main passion after music creation. Your video showed me much more that never is too late to start again for a passion that never left me. I thank you so much for entertaining me and watching with such great joy, I will watch all your videos one by one in the comming days. I send you many greetings from the city of Muenster, Germany, wish you a nice there over there! Alfredo.

You always give me inspiration. After this film, I took my GX85 with Loawa 7.5 f2 out for a walk. Try this one day. Go for a brisk walk, don't stop, keep moving. You know what you are doing, so simply take a photo and move on, it's most spontaneous and great fun.

HI there. I sent you a link to an Album from my Google album. I'm not a street photographer, but your work inspires me to get out there. Also, Saul Leiterfrom the 40s and 50s. The lens makes you think about what you shoot. It is most certainly not minimalist, but great fun@@ForsgardPeter
