Hi Luis,
On these pictures I just stood pretty much in one position and just 
turned izquierda a la derecha and shot,
and as you say a spectator. Street shooting I think is a spectator 
sport.
I would like to see what you have from that street market shooting.
I'm always running into problems with a lot of different ethnic groups 
on NYC streets constantly.
Sometimes I have to leave fast and other times I just talk to them, buy 
them a coffee and keep shooting.

I just bought a Panasonic Digital Lumex with a Leica  35-430  f2.8 
straight through lens to bring to Spain with me.
I'm leaving the Leica M3 home because I don't want to hassle with a lot 
of film and then going through xray machines.
As it is now, I'll be in Madrid on Nov 16 and then on to Tenerife for 
about a week or so.
I'll email you when I get back to Madrid & see how your schedule is 
then..........
Regards
Neil
