Description i can say asian, right?

soooo .... wanted to put it in artistic nude ... but ... didn't.

when i looked at my latest journal entry -- the one about the new blog -- well ... i would be remiss if i didn't acknowledge the fact i missing my favourite couple from the last journal entry [link]

the deer-in-the-headlamp-couple.

fucking vegas.

i mean ... they have a midget as a "barker" at this strip casino.

the next thing i see are these two...

i was doing a "modified-shooting-from-hip-kinda-thing" ...

okay ...

no ...

i fucking wasn't.

i just walked the fuck up and snap.

they said something.

i said, "non capit', scemi"

and waved my hands at them.

when someone confronts you just pretend to not understand english...

or engrish.com ...

or whatever...

act like you're deaf.

not blind, though.

nothing plausible about that.

they were missing from my page.

i missed them.

and i believe this is the only "journal photo" which i've posted into the gallery.

pretty sure of it actually.

maybe i should be like the anime crowd and say, "fave it, fave it, i wanna see it on the front page."

why'd i bring anime into this?

dunno.

leica mp. 35/1.4 summilux ASPH. 1/60th at f/2.8 and a half. ilford delta 400. exposed and processed normal. NOT A DIGITAL PHOTO.

man, I'd definitely prefer this on the front page to most of what normally goes up there... It is, after all, nice to see a little more Ilford in the world.

Heck, even though I can't afford one, let's see more Leica in the world too.

I just got back from a trip to Europe and there were even more Asian tourists than American. They looked just like these two, to say the least. Great capture.

now, you know you haven't photoshopped this one enough to see it on the front page.

there are other reasons beyond photoshopping why one may not see my work on the frontpage!

Bellagio? I was just clicking away there myself a couple days ago. Not as brave as you yet with that, but I did get a few good shots of tourists doing their thing.

I think they have an standard education for tourist from japan, they always look the same, same shorts, same shirts, camera, I think there may be a course for "international asian tourist"

engrish.com rules!

And you brought the anime stuff cause it needs to be in the face of people

rapidvision [2006-07-03 17:27:29 +0000 UTC]

I like the way you described this photo in your journal, 'I love fucking with tourists.'


Okay, stupid question: What's 'f/2.8 and a half'? Does it mean you pushed the exposure or something?

Once I was on a hiking trip with my class/grade in Gatineau Park in Canada... and this Chinese tourist randomly walked over to me, put her arm on my shoulders and had her picture taken with me. The tourguide was like "Your picture's going back to China!"
