A friend of mine who has a luxurious mane of hair worthy of the poets that he keeps hiding. While I, someone who is balding in a way that would remind you of a cannibal mutant living near an atomic test zone, only wears a hat while outside to keep the sun from leaving blisters.
It’s a crazy mixed up world. And my hat is quite nice.
This is the Grainy Film mode on the Olympus Pen. I like it. But like all digital filters it needs to be used sparingly and in the right context. This context was living room lighting. Living room lighting makes everyone look like a Simpson.

I don’t know what gang he belongs to, but I took the gang sign as a warning to cross the street and avert my eyes.

Wonderful. A good philosophy to have about life, I feel.
I have a number of kid portraits that I’m quite proud of. But many of them hold too many un-editable identifiers for me to feel comfortable with posting them online so they remain something for me and their mothers alone. I can see why some folks avoid it all together.
Personally, I find the good/suck ratio for candid “street” photography like the images below this one are pretty bad. That may simply be due to my skill at that type of photography. I prefer this sort of off-the-cuff portraiture. East Asians are great to do this with since everyone is taking pictures of themselves and each other non-stop. I’d like to try it some here in Canada but everyone is so fearful I don’t think much of my chances of success…
