film fun
You might remember the people above from my recent post. This is the photo I have shot of them in film, and in all honesty, I like the Iphone shot better. Check it here
Street portrait: He was on his way to ride away, and was very kind to spare some time to pose for the camera.
Shot from the hip. Zone focused with my rangefinder, pre-metered with my Pocket Light Meter app from my Iphone…and snapped! My Leica M3 was so quiet, no one heard it made an exposure. This is my favorite from the roll.

Broadway Buddhists (or the Tao of Tattoo)
This is one of my favorite images from The Burghers of Broadway series. It was shot in September of 2006. There was some sort of Buddhist event at the Symphony Space, across the street. Crossing the median I encountered this pair and asked if I could take a picture. The monk on the left seemed largely unaware of, or uninterested in, me or my question. But the tattooed man on the right explained what I was asking and, receiving what I thought was a fairly non-committal response, posed. It was clear he felt greatly honored to have his picture taken in the monk’s company and I suspect he must be a revered monk of some renown.
