b&w on the street

I’ve always loved street photography but never made serious attempts to try it. on my trip to nyc this past winter I was inspired by ming smith (I saw her show at moma while I was in the city) to try some black & white street shots using a new technique for me. I set my fujifilm x30 to all auto settings using a monochrome film simulation & shot from the hip without looking through the viewfinder. this was really exhilarating & something I’d never tried before. excited to try this way of shooting more.
