A couple of years ago my father was having a clean out and offered me his old Pentax ME-Super.  I thought it would make a good hardcore street photography tool (in the absence of a viewfinder camera).  I went out and bought a roll of 35mm Ilford HP5 400ASA film.  Here is what I took.

Drummers on Greenmarket Square, Cape TownNot so much about the photo, but I remember trying to be surreptitious so as not to be seen to be obviously taking photos. In retrospect, unnecessary when taking a performance.

Wedding: outside the church in Greenmarket Square.This was where I climbed up on a bollard behind the official photographers. I think I was the one who got the groom's engagement!

All's fair in love and street photography.
