March 17th, Saint Patrick's Day, New York City.
It doesn't get any crazier in the streets of NY than this day except for maybe New Year's Eve. I love the energy in the city during days like this. Coming out of Penn Station, I meant to actually watch/photograph part of the parade along Fifth Ave, but got sidetracked so many times that I ended up not watching any of it. I am no street photographer (as a matter of fact, I've never done ANY street photography before), but I really did enjoy shooting this! Strangers are helluva lot of fun to shoot! :)
These were all shot on 4 different film cameras (Mamiya 645 80mm f/1.9, Canon EOS3 50mm f/1.4, Holga 120N whose shutter broke in the middle of the day, and the Canonet QL17) and several different films (Portra400, Superia 400, Kodak E100VS cross-processed and HP5). You'd think I shot each film stock with each camera right? As a matter of fact I did! :) Thanks to Tim for lending me the Canonet of which I am now also a proud owner (for less than $100 on ebay, that can't be beat!). Alright let's take it to the streets!
