Description This image, taken by the university on a nearby  business strip, a hangout where you can see people traffic.  I was loitering about, with no real purpose, other than to make sure I had my everyday camera with me, and an eye out for anything special I might encounter, but only if you look.

I saw the four approach, two groups with the back couple coming up to pass.  Each was in their own world.  All white hipsters, I was thinking, and possible what they were thinking as well.

Taken with my Zeiss Contarex, with a 55m F1.4 Planar, on Kodak Tri-X panchromatic 135mm film, in the late 1960s, in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.

Feel free to download, just give me photo credit.

Just the other day I was playing mystery film.

When you find some obscure negatives from the accumulated piles, scan it and then see what you get, from what you had done. 

As I studied this image, recalling the times, I was pleased to see so many characteristic clues present.  This was not just a casual framing and the camera position was calculated to provide possibilities in an uncontrolled environment.

That is why the partial man off frame was included, if you hadn't noticed it before.

new year, anticipation, art theives, features.Alright well now that it's 2016 and the Holiday season is (finally) over we can get back to business! The business of making art! Currently in my life it has been a bumpy couple of weeks with some potholes in the road. If you know what I mean I'm saying these potholes may have punctured my tires but after a little stress and decisions to be made, I'm back in motion. I'm speaking metaphorically of course, that my life is about to pick up again soon, as I've been able to free up some time in my busy schedule. I haven't been out shooting in a couple weeks! I do bring one of my cameras with me usually wherever I go but still been having photo block lately. Mostly just because of the rain, cold, darkness of the dead of winter, and my busy schedule. I've hardly been shooting at all since the Portland trip! This makes me very sad but I know that I'm about to become photographically active again. I realize that I beat myself up a little too much for not always taking pictures but I suppo

The partial man presents quite the contrast to the self-assuredness of youth.

At the left edge of the photo, holding out a glass, possibly panhandling?
