Yes...we caught each others eyes, the Young soldier and me, perhaps both in the feeling of being somewhat lost, but I guess that might be the inner life of all receptions, the main attraction, the Pictures, seems to get lost, while all people seems not to care about them, turning their backside towards, and just looking at the others, who also are looking for who might be looking at themselves... (apart from the Young girl who was sneeking herself to look at the naked tatoos....)Nice, thorkil. Like the tonality and the last one, in particular. The portrait on the wall pulls it together for me. A little irony, too, I suppose, with the photograph being the only one engaged with the photographer.

Thorkil, excellent images, all.

John, the GR seems to be a strong camera in a very attractive package, its simple, extremely unobtrusively, almost feeling primitive, yet sufficient (and actually very) complicated to please almost any wished setting.General question for GR users. Has this camera changed the way you shoot? It has for me.
28mm is fairly new to me, having always preferred 35 or 50. But I'm enjoying trying to get closer and fill the frame. I would say it has emboldened me. It has also made me much more attentive to figure groups and setting, as opposed to individual subject. Both are welcome changes, I feel. And I'd say the GR has opened me to a much freer way of shooting, with less concern for technicals and more for expression, if that makes any sense.
I have not touched my Nex 7 kit since getting the GR, but I'm reluctant to part with it. As a last-ditch experiment I just bought the new black Sony 50 1.8 and am going to give carrying them both a try. 28mm and 75mm seems like a good combo. I'd love to see Ricoh offer a 50mm GR.

I can really relate to this point of view.Thorkil said:And it lies just so good in your right hand, you don’t need anymore than your right hand, and you can point it almost up in peoples face (but there comes the inner conflict with ones inner shyness, but the reward feels huge when you are able to overcome this inner shyness).
