Too Much Coffee & A Bike Ride

Cameras always add an interesting dynamic when you interact with people. I typically try to stay hidden, somewhere in the shadows, ready to stealthily attack my subjects with unprecedented artistic force (or just take a few shots while they're not looking), but occasionally I'll just shove a camera in someone's face just to see what they do....


The "eye roll", here perfectly demonstrated by my friend Chris, who is pretending he is enjoying his coffee with a side of obnoxious camera man.

Blake, giving me the "mean mug". Needless to say, I was not intimidated, and proceeded to shove my lens down his throat.

Here we have an interesting thing happening. The next few shots all came about by the dude in the left side of the frame walking into Starbucks (uninvited) and saying (very observantly) "OH you have a camera. Take pictures of this". Before I could do anything to stop it, retarded-ness just happened in front of me, and I was forced to shoot and publish the following ridiculous and some-what-blackmail-ish photos of these people. All expressions are the result of very genuine and thought provoking conversation between intellectuals....
 (AKA a bunch of SCHMUCKS on the other side of the camera acting up....)




................ Now that we are all friends again, here are a few photos that actually display some sort of artistic ability.
