I went for a 50 minute walk today.

Starting tomorrow, I’ll be sharing the 11 images I captured, in the order they were shot.

It’s the spontaneous coalescing of disparate elements into a pleasing composition that, for me, makes this interesting.

I seldom engage in street photography, because moments like this are few and far between.

However, if one is able to capture an instance like this — a moment of serendipity — and manage to frame it in a nice way, it’s a euphoric experience.

When I acquired my first rangefinder in late 2007 — the iconic Leica M8 — the two Leica lenses I purchased were the 50mm Summilux ASPH and the 28mm Elmarit ASPH.

Well, at some point along the way, I sold that little 28/2.8. That was a mistake.

It’s now back in the fold… and I’ve come full circle.

(I was wiser then than I am now.)

I spotted him from a distance and, seeing the golden light reflecting off him and the Bajan clouds behind him, literally chased him down the beach as he walked.

Never once did he ask me what the hell I was doing.
