In a nearby Florida tourist town, beneath a cornflower-blue sky and breathing in the warm, salty air, I wandered past mid-19th-century packinghouses that once stored cotton bales and ship-bottom shellfish. Today, those same buildings house trendy restaurants and high-end trinket shops. With my digital camera and a single lens, I set out to practice a bit of street photography — something I still approach with a hint of awkwardness.

For the past couple of years, I’ve been practicing the “one camera, one lens” exercise with my Hasselblad 907x and 45P lens — partly to refine my skills, and partly because no other lenses truly interested me — until the 28P came along. Now, I’m eagerly awaiting its arrival.

The 907x, with its tilting screen instead of a traditional viewfinder, feels much like using my old 501CM with a waist-level finder. Surprisingly, it makes for a very capable street camera.

As I approached a quiet street, I noticed an orange façade ahead glowing against the blue sky. There’s a picture to be made here, I thought. Closer inspection revealed it was a local bar. Though it was still early in the day, I could see the silhouettes of two men inside, clearly enjoying themselves.

As I drew nearer, the scene unfolded — the hand-painted murals, the picnic tables out front, the humor in the signs. But what truly caught my attention was the laughter drifting from within.

This image captures that unexpected moment of joy and discovery, framed by a brilliant orange façade and the cornflower-blue sky — my favorite childhood crayon color. Discovering the High Five Dive Bar, which humorously bills itself as an “adult day care center,” and spotting a Laurel-and-Hardy-like pair sharing early-morning laughter amid playful bursts of color — that’s street photography at its finest.
