I know that many believe that long lenses do some sort of disservice to "street photography." I do understand the tradition and the many good reasons for that view. In this particular case I drove into the park and saw the scene the correct tool sat on the seat next to me. I raised it and got off two frames before that scene evaporated before my eyes. To have reached for a short lens and walked up to the father and son would not have allowed this unobtrusive glimpse. To me this was no different than capturing wildlife; with respect and at a distance which does not disturb their natural behavior. We were the only 3 people in the park. A much different situation than working in the chaos of the street at close range. And I'm quite enjoying the perspective.
