Hi Luis,

very nice shots - I mean the whole series.

What strikes me is the camera's mid height position -I used to shoot a 
Mamiya C220 and had forgotten this) - It gives you a much bettter 
insight into what people are at.
 I mean you're not a direct kind of omniscient witness to the scene, nor 
a spy hiding for reasons unknown - it gives the real feeling you're part 
of the scene and were there.

A tiltable screen and Live view on the M9 might offer easy access to the 
same perspectives, and become the modern Rolei/Mamiya, etc.

Your favorite is one of mine but a patch that is too light in the 
background behind the seller.
The beach has strong composition and light too.
I also liked these kids , slightly blurred and crossing and steep street 
- reminds me of Ouro Preto, Brazil, or Laredo (Spain) as I discovered 
them in the 60-70s.

Thanks for sharing
Phil...x
