Well, it was more of a 'telling off' by the wife... I was wearing the E-P1 on a neck strap, practicing shooting from the hip (or stomach in this case ).
The 17mm f2.8 (35mm in FF terms) field of view makes this kind of street shooting very easy - you don't have to raise the camera to your eye to frame... just learn to point and shoot.
Of course, you have to prepare your focus region and have sufficient depth of field.
