This image had been taken during the 2011 Miami Photo Walk on Lincoln Road in South Beach. The street scene is a reflection in "Victoria's Secret" store's window. This is digital, captured on Olympus Digital Pen EP1 camera with 17mm lens and processed in Photoshop to imitate a cross-type film development.

Metromover

We were riding Metromover in Downtown Miami with Juan Reyes, founder of Street Photography Club of Miami, and discussing "shooting from the hip" street photography technique. During this conversation I took the image of this guy standing next to us. Olympus Stylus Epic camera, Tri-X 400 film rated ISO 1600 in Diafine.

Wind from the sea

First time the "M" letter in camera's "Bessa R3M" name had gotten a use: the battery died that night but the camera, been fully manual, worked. I just happened to have an external exposure meter and used it instead of the internal.

On high heels

It is October and the weather is slowly becoming better suited to street photography. Can't wait for the first cold wave. This is Tri-X at 1600 in Diafine; the camera was Olympus Stylus Epic.

Downtown at night

Downtown at Night, Miami, Florida, USA, 2011. Street Photography of Miami, San Francisco and Key West by Emir Shabashvili, see http://street-foto.com, http://miamistreetphoto.com, http://miamistreetphotography.com or http://miamistreetphotographer.com
It is EMPTY. People park their lexuses and infinities at the lower floors and take elevators to their condos. They live in these ivory towers as in high-walled fortresses, guarded by sleepy attendants at the ground floors. The Downtown is left to rare passing cars and homeless folks; they sleep on the sidewalks here and there.
Again, Bessa R3M rangefinder/35mm lens/Tri-X developed in 2xDiafine to E.I.=3200.

Night at Calle Ocho

Evening in Little Havana, Miami, Florida, USA, 2011. Street Photography of Miami, San Francisco and Key West by Emir Shabashvili, see http://street-foto.com, http://miamistreetphoto.com, http://miamistreetphotography.com or http://miamistreetphotographer.com
I keep returning to Calle Ocho. True, it is limited to the couple of streets and not very crowded. It is boring at times. But, its also one of the few places in Miami where there is a real street life. So here it is again, Little Havana, taken on Tri-X with my Bessa R3M rangefinder/35mm lens and developed in 2xDiafine to E.I.=3200.
