Color Street Photography with a Leica M2

This January I took advantage of some time off from school and caught a bus from Binghamton to NYC for a few days, carrying nothing but a small bag packed with my Leica M2, one lens, four rolls of Portra 400, an extra shirt and socks, a stick of deodorant, and a can of soup.

I’ve had the images on my hard drive for a while, but intentionally or not, I’ve let them age, which has helped facilitate the culling process.

Here are my favorites from my winter break, from riding B.C. Transit, to walking down my old street, to roaming the streets of New York City.
