Tony's Crab Shack

I stood in line and ordered clam chowder.

I ordered a drink.....

The guy at counter said "Lagunitas IPA?" 

"I remember checking your ID last time." 

I replied...... 

"Nope, you remember my twin brother."

After lunch I called my twin brother.....

He confirmed that he had ordered clam chowder there before.

He also said that he ordered a Lagunitas IPA.

Cheers!

Friday Night

We celebrated a friend's birthday late on Friday evening.

I've been missing the process of shooting film.....

I set my Leica to capture color JPEGs.

I promised myself I wouldn't process any of the files.

We had a great evening.....

Street Photo No. 1

In 2010 I didn't know what street photography was.
I shot mostly JPEG SOOC, Straight Out Of the Camera, with no post-processing. 

We were on a trip to Chicago and I took a street shot without knowing it.  

I knew that I wanted the guy in the frame.  

I had made the proper adjustments on my camera.

I was anxiously waiting for him to look at me. 

I wanted his eyes on the camera when I pushed the shutter release.  

My heart was pounding.  

It was exhilarating.

I was traveling with family, my mom.  

She likes color photographs.  

I'm partial to black and white.

I converted the JPEG to black and white sometime later.

I added contrast, increased the blacks.

My post-processing has evolved since then.....

This photo still captures my style and is pleasing to my eyes.
