I had some fun with my response to Charley’s colorful post.  With plans to create something in the studio later in the afternoon I set off for my morning walk and just for a change I grabbed my camera.  Being the studio guy that I am I normally don’t take the “big” camera with me on city walks but after today’s experience this will be the norm.   My walk turned into an amble as I was shooting everything in sight.  I had already made an exposure of this shop and was leaving when opportunity knocked.  This guy came strolling along looking more like he was ready for a day at the zoo with his backpack, hat, soda and red umbrella.  He seemed to have landed from another planet or maybe he was a tourist; not what I expected to see in the East Village of Long Beach.
