I smoked my lunch at Joe R's in Long Beach today. A Punch. I sit outside with John. We watch and smoke as the world rolls by. I hold my camera close and wait. Subjects soon walk by. Soda-Paper-Man collects cans and old newspapers. He walks a regular beat. And... he's rather odd. I watch without commenting. He would not meet my eyes.
later...
A young couple with two stroller kids walk up to the smoking chairs. They light up a spliff and a cigar. The smell is intoxicating. Nobody cares. They speak Spanish mostly, the young mother complains about breastfeeding. The kids seem mellow.
I can watch people all day.
