I got into film photography within the past year, and am just now starting to shoot a lot of street stuff. Leica M2 and Leica Summicron 35mm. Getting used to all manual (no light meter/focusing etc.) is taking a little time, but much more rewarding and fun than digital.
That first shot is awesome! Exactly the kind of stuff I like, and am now looking to shoot when I go out.
Tried once shooting film, they came out just ok (Minolta) would like to try again after seeing these gems.
Taking the images to get developed is not as fun as being in a dark room. Maybe if i can sneak into a college campus somewhere. Do you process your own photos?
yes processing the photos is part of the fun, but sadly i am not able to do it right now... (not allowed by the wife due to the checmicals :( ) luckily i have a local lab here, which is relatively cheap and good enough :) below is with acros100.

thanks! yes perhaps the same things can be captured using digital, but the fact its on film makes it even more fun :)
