Goes to show that I should waste less time thinking what lenses I "need" and just shoot because look at how awesome your work turns out with the kit lens.
Excellent!

Hey, I've got the camera and lens --- I'll go out and shoot pictures like these. In my dreams!

Truly wonderful --- thanks!

Great photos! Congratulations!

I suppose you were shooting "from the hip" looking down at the screen. The Nex 6 seems a great camera for these types of photos. Small and unobtrusive. And your use of the 16-50 mm shows that it can be done perfectly without a Zeiss prime for $600+ when you know what you are doing.

Would it be a problem exhibiting these pictures in the LA area because the people depicted might be recognized?

Thanks for posting.

Sorry, my post just now was of course directed at the OP. My mistake.

Thank you.  As long as these people are in a public place nothing is required of the photographer,

I was sitting 5 feet away from this fellow. God only knows what was going thru his mind. Later on I sat at another seat and this man starts talking about wars and calling me general and then sat down next to me a fell asleep...

Very nice series, i am a newbie, but this camera and lens to start off with is on my short list.

This brings up a good point.  There's a purpose for every lens.  I had the 16-50 and sent it back due to poor IQ - specifically it's just not very sharp.  But I don't shoot the type of images you do.

You know how to use a lens that's very portable and convenient, even if the critical sharpness is poor.

Excellent job - Very nice work!
