I’ll just be sitting here, hitting this shutter button, while the rest of the world watches football.

We were eating Mediterranean in Hayes Valley when Natalia cruised up. Spontaneous friend meet ups seems to happen often in this city. We had lunch, chatted about yoga, neighborhoods, movies, “the wiggle,” and then decided to walk over to the Sundance Kabuki to see Martin Scorsese’s “Hugo.”

This photograph was inevitable.

Laughter was the predecessor to this shot, and this is the look of promise.

I heard the boy’s dad say, “It feels like we’re in Paris or something.” He was right. I dropped a buck in the accordion player’s bag, stepped back, and looked around.
The boy was transfixed for about 90 seconds. I couldn’t tell if we was more interested in the music, the motions of the accordion, or the ragged and young guy standing partly in the rain. I think we both wondered if he was as happy as he looked playing that accordion.
I know it sure made the touristy market feel a few musical notes warmer.
Everyone was watching fish flying through the market, but not this guy. He was overlooking the waters of Seattle while a steady drizzle splat on the tiles beneath him. I hurried over to the entrance of this balcony and took a couple of frames. The man was transfixed by the slow moving cruise ship. He soon left and I found myself taking his place.
