..compared to the “instant gratification” of digital, i kind of like the “waiting period” that goes along with shooting this medium, but it can get pricey.. it got me thinking about me wasting film on my gramps camera and not hearing any complaints from him after getting them from the lab..

..she’s got that look of a mother just having caught her mischievous kid red handed..
..a fellow shutterbug who, like daredevil, uses her heightened senses to capture the decisive moment.. or maybe i just happened to take this shot while a cold gust of wind hit her face.. i think the former sounds better..
..it was uncomfortably cold the weekend when i was at nyc, which made it easier to shoot street because people were preoccupied with keeping themselves warm.. not that they didn’t notice my huge, lumbering, touristy frame pointing a camera at their faces.. but i have wifey & her cousin acting as decoys so it was all good.. and it’s not like i was shooting with an “in your face 50mm (or shorter)” lens..
