    Accidents happen, especially with a cheap plastic camera like the Holga, which I picked up from ICP‘s gift shop in the late 1990s. The camera warned about quirks and light leaks and it delivered. Here are some of the Philadelphia boys, now squarely in AARP’s sights, in younger days. (ca. 2000-2001)

    Let’s get a cab.

    In Manhattan, anything of any nature can spontaneously manifest at any moment around any corner. Such as a gaggle of Indian women in saris and blingy eyewear on their way to or from the day’s program. You’ve got a camera, you blunder into them, you take the shot. (ca. 1996)
