Old days? Photograph

I'm a pure amateur photographer. I'm interested in photography for at least the last 10 years. I started with a film camera before to swap to a digital one. But I just started to rediscover the film quality and especially the medium format. I'm living in London for 2 years now. This period was the occasion to develop my style and fall in love with the street photography. I still have a lot to learn, and hopefully London is a great play-ground to practice. I'm mostly interested in black and white photography as the color is for me quite distractive. This is probably not permanent, but currently I find the color quite difficult to control and doesn't allow me to focus on the main subject. My references are of course photographers like Henri Cartier Bresson or Brassaï. But I have been impressed by the Viviane Maier's work recently discovered.
