Hi Philippe,

As commented, the Rolleiflx gives a nice perspective principally for
children, and as you say, you can be with it at the middle of the action and
at the level of the action. I thibk that particularly on the latin Countries
the children are more used to be to play on the streets.

Thanks for looking

Saludos cordiales
Luis

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
