Shot this image while going to one of my favorite Thai Restaurants for lunch today. The mural on this bookstore always makes an interesting background. When I saw this guy coming down the sidewalk smiling I thought it would be an interesting image. This guy was walking very fast and confidently which was amazing to me. Full respect to him.
The fact that he is 'blind' and has the mural with the big eyes and glasses so prominent really is a great juxtaposition.

That is what I was going for with this image.
The thing that has me curious is the smile he has. I didn't speak to him or let him know I was taking his picture. Presumably he couldn't see me taking his picture, he just walked by without breaking pace. He smiled the whole time he was walking. I wonder why?

Great contrast! The excellent thing about slow film on a sunny day - just open it up!
I really like Pan F Plus. I am impressed with how well the nearly 12 year old film turned out - The shooting at box speed but pushing 2 stops after the fact was a bit of an experiment. Here's a few more;
Rikki is a regular down on the Boardwalk. Often he is out fully dressed as a belly dancer performing on the sand. He is a very nice, and interesting person. We have spoken a few times.
While riding my electric scooter on a tour of the Boardwalk yesterday late afternoon I saw Rikki reclining on the wall in the amazing afternoon light. I stopped, put the RF up to my eye to take a picture. He noticed, looked straight into the lens, and continued his dancer hand movements. Which remind me of Thai dancers with the long fingernails.
The Boardwalk is such an interesting place. I never know what I will find when I go out for a ride.
