Scenes From Public Transport

First Leg:

This douchebag was making a panhandling sign with a stinky, noxious marker.

Believe you me, he looked far from homeless or needy.

He had Starb*cks and a cell.



This lady we'll call 'Whitley' as she's an African American woman who likes to dress as if she is in The South.

Whitley loves her black hat with the gold cord trim.

I have not once seen her sans hat.

I used to think she was rather nattily dressed, until I noticed her shoes.

They are totally falling apart.

That kind of tainted my image of her.

Also, she acts like a prima donna and often forces other patrons to wait for her to get her Southern arse out of her seat and out the door.



Trying to get a better shot of Whitley's hat [damn bumpy rides].



Close, but no cigar.



Final attempt.



This is one of the other regulars.

Nothing really makes her stand out like Whitley, except she appears kind of nerdy and bookish.

We'll call her 'The Librarian'.

She, too, is an older African American woman.

She's a fan of paperback fiction novels, although I have noticed none of them have been bodice-ripping rom novs.



The Librarian in motion.

This was a spur of the moment shot in where I wanted to see how the camera's low resolution would capture the light.

I like how it's low quality distorts the shot and produces unknown results.

Kind of like those people who are fanboys of taking shots with toy cameras.

Shot two with passerby included.

Second Leg:



Where is everyone?

Score!

Sigh, it wasn't a solo passage home for me.

First up, mid 30's guy with a horrid 80's leather jacket [the bottom of the jacket had cinched pleats].

He was a conundrum.

He kind of had a hipster/metrosexual vibe going, but it was a failed attempt.

He was wearing beaded hoop earrings for chrissakes!

B for effort and D for execution.

The only other patron of public transport is the guy towards the front with the blond/grey hair.

I have seen him before.

He carries himself as if he is carrying the weight of the world on his wizened frame, even though he can't be any older than mid-40's.

Maybe it's all that crap he carries around with him.
