why is it so hard to let go.


men who wear low shirts

gives a feminine appeal... kind of revealing but not because there's nothing there.

rah rah ah ah ah... combat



didn't take any of these but combat boots look completely raw.

i realized today that there are doc martens i could put to use in the garage. my sister bought them in the 90s and they have been collecting dust for the past 10 years.
so, I asked my mom for them and she said she threw them away.... YESTERDAY.
asdjfioewrasdlkfj vintage doc martens sell for ~$100 online and she threw them away. in the big garbage bin. dreadful.

(Civic Center, San Francisco)

a little too early for spring.. cropped trousers

rockin' the boots



(Union Square, San Francisco)

picture #2 is the reason i need auto focus. i swear it was completely clear in the viewfinder.. i've noticed nikon is a lot slower than canon at processing pictures.

so simple but so nicely worn. i can't get over how amazing his bag is. its like a wild wild west rucksack.

my sister refuses to drive me anywhere after march 1st.. i really need to learn how to drive. i will set a goal to learn by the end of next saturday. hoorah

smoking shots

went shooting with megumi again today.
we tried filming homeless people and doing that 50 people 1 question thing.. didn't work out too well. i wanted to study class structure and ask homeless people questions but it's hard to come up with the right question. then i get depressed because there's nothing i can do about their circumstance.

i had a personal thing of not shooting people who smoke, but it makes for a nice picture so what the heck.
i like his boots. and the whole boot-look.. kinda rugged hipster meets prep.

my vintage boots have holes them. "vintage is a euphemism for old" -cynthia. nicely said.


the lack of auto-focus compatibility with my lens is starting to frustrate me.

the suave and soulful professional

(Financial District)

scarf-tucked-in-jacket look again. i like his play on patterns with the polka-dot tie and striped scarf. everything's strict and business-y 'cept for his chest area.

new nikon camera. it has VIDEO! :D
unfortunately, i was not aware that the lens does not have autofocus so now i have to manual focus all my shots and i am terrible at telling whether the subject is in focus or not through the viewfinder.

bike was just parked there. some people are seriously trustworthy with their stuff... they always leave their backpacks in the bookstore cafe while they go grab coffee or take a piss.
