yashica t4 super fun and st pat's.

on march 12th i received my yashica. since then i've shot about 5 pics. a couple from the st. patty's day parade. i'm curious as to how they will turn out because my subjects were moving so erratically.

speaking of the st patty's day parade, i was leaving an appt on 45th and 5th (that i had already had some difficulty in attending because of the sectioned off parade), thus was in a hurry to get to school and not in such a pleasant mood. some guy jumps out in front of me and i suppose i unconsciously gave him a dirty look seeing as how i assumed he wanted directions and the streets were littered with police officers. he motioned to me to remove my headphones, which i did, and then he started babbling to me how he was sorry for staring at me and some other nonsense which i just kind of phased out.

until he mentioned that i had been smoking. i gave him another dirty look this time a bit confused and asked him to repeat himself, and unfortunately he obeyed my request. this time he said he was sorry for running to me but he just had had to because i was smoking.

to which i replied "smoking? i wasn't smoking. i quit two weeks ago" (which is true).

his response: "no, no. smoking HOT."

you know, if i hadn't been in such a mood or hurry i probably would have stopped to at least exchange a few words (nice ones, i swear) instead of waving him off. i would've never seen him again after that, but i'm such a sucker for cheese. plus it takes balls to run across a nyc parade after some asian girl in sweatpants.
