My lovely little 35mm fixed lens has been in my hands for more than twelve years. However, this is perhaps my least used piece of optics, as the type of photos I usually take are of the street type or also in rural environments and nature. And perhaps the 35 mm (at least for me) is not very adaptable to these types of photography. So from time to time I take this small lens and give it some work... I wouldn't want it to get fungus or anything like that!... This time I've used it to go to the streets and explore the "surfaces" that are available around me. So this is the result of this morning's street work.

The 35mm focal length offers on my camera the approximate equivalent of the 50mm on a full size sensor. So the psychological effect of seeing through this lens is very similar to what I have with my natural vision. This makes the pictures very intimate and practically expresses the way I am perceiving the picture as I take it. This is a nice thing to do, especially when it comes to a subject like the one I am sharing with you today, based on photos taken from a very close distance range.

I really enjoyed taking these photos. It was a different week for me. Some people were watching me as if they were waiting for me to take a picture of them in the street scenes. But instead I focused my attention on a wall, a door or anything in the street that offered me a view in line with my theme for today. In fact, I had to say a couple of times to groups of people who were watching me things like: "For God's sake, don't think my madness has gotten worse, today I'm taking a different kind of strange pictures"... It's a small town, it's hard to go unnoticed! :))
