This is #5 of my Found on the Streets series.

One of the things that I love about street photography is the unexpected. I was walking through a weekly farmer’s market in downtown Los Angeles when I saw this couple. They caught my attention because she was so much taller than her partner. I followed them for a bit, not seeing exactly the photo that I wanted, and was about to settle for wide shot, showing them in their environment. Then, coming toward them (us) I noticed the man in the Undercover Police tee-shirt. I took a couple quick steps to get closer to the couple, then took the picture. Of course, I could have zoomed in to get my photo, but I didn’t, choosing to move closer. I didn’t have a specific reason, unless it was subliminal, but I am happy with the result.

Shot with an Olympus OMD-EM5 and a 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens at 14mm, f3.5, ISO 200, 1/320 on aperture priority.
