Description I watched and followed this guy for about 5-10 minutes.

I've actually photographed him before. see a shot called "cap in hand".

these were next to each other on the roll. I'm pretty happy with them. But the final image will be a print... and I'm not asking which one you like the best, but feel free to say.

Ilford hp5 normal, xtol, pentax k1000 and and a 28/2.8. scanned from the negative.

I love your street photography It's nice to think that even a stranger and his cigarette can speak to us this way.

I think they would all stand very strongly on their own too. All frames have something interesting.

good images. yes, i agree they work together!
But if it was me deciding which to use i would skip the first one, although, it is a good image it makes me feel repetition.
I find the second one more narrative.What I mean:
-i m not sure what he does in there.
As for the third gives me the instant of the first whiff!
I prefer the 2nd one

They work well together.

Look forward to seeing the last one as a printscan on it's own.

i think this works well as it is - almost like a progression in a story. Keep it as is, maybe use a black border instead of white i don't know but i like it as is.
