I can interact with people from a normal distance and take pictures at the same time. The framing tends to be waist up-ish of a person interacting with others or their environment. Perfect for the kind of photos I like. A 35mm would have worked here: <http://www.flickr.com/photos/tgray1/3224765829/> but I would have been a step or two back from where I was actually standing at the time, interacting with my brother. Which is doable, I just find that 28 fits my style a lot better than 35.
