The gear. Street photographers tend to like their cameras small and discreet, but Olmos is happy with his full-size, full-frame DSLR, and he carries no backup except an old iPhone 4 with a shattered screen. He uses the same DSLR for both his day job and his creative street photography, and the only thing he changes is the lens: Whereas he might use a range of focal lengths for newspaper portraiture, he sticks to a small, fixed wide-angle lens when he's on the street. Specifically, Olmos uses a 35mm lens, which is ideal for street photography since many photographers feel it comes close to matching the eye's natural field of view.
