This was honestly the best picture on the two rolls I developed recently. I took this on the Manhattan bridge only about a week and a half ago, my first stroll walking above China Town. I stopped him and took his picture. This morning on my compute, two stops from where I get off to work I open my eyes from a pleasant train nap, good commute, to him sitting right across from me with headphones in. I've started carrying prints in a little photo album with me everywhere I go. I do a cross comparison of the print and the gentleman in front of me and I get his attention. "Is this you?" I said. "Where did you get that?" he asked surprised. What are the odds? I was surprised too. I told him I took it on the Manhattan bridge and handed him the print. "I like that" he said. "It's like karma". I don't always get prints to my subjects, but it's nice when it's this easy.

Dude.

This guy started hanging out outside Gilman St. at crust shows. Bandannas on his cats, patched pants, bummin' for cigarettes. It wasn't the life style he was trying to live, you know?
Dude.

5 ptz
I was lucky enough to literally stumble into 5 ptz, tourists luck. Somehow its legendary reputation never reached my ears, but I forgot all about the museum I was going to for a good 30 minutes to walk around the building. Makes the tracks next to 880 look like a blank etcha-sketch. http://5ptz.com/graff/
