Color and black and white for street shots. Kosher or sacrilege? These are mostly streetscapes, so there may be something to say about their not being "street" but then... Take a look.
Isolation, or poor frozen bike (M5, Nokton 35 f1.4 on Kodak Plus, at f1.4, 1/125.
Corner with light and snow. Same gear as above, and almost identical EV, but on Kodak BW400CN.
Chair-Line by the Water Tower, on Michigan Avenue. Same rig, lens slightly closed (probably at f2.8) and a nice shutterspeed (like 1/250). Why is it I remember all this? Simply because the M5 requires me to pre-meter, almost as if I had a meterless body, so that in the final adjustment I know what changes I'm making instead of turning madly the shutterspeed dial or the aperture ring.
Any preference? Let me know!

A very artistic series. For some reason they remind me of paintings...
Thanks, Vanna. I appreciate your comment. I think the pictorial quality is due to the lens, which has a nice, out-of-focus effect.
