Seattle "Retro-Cool"

View Cool On White

 

While strolling Pikes Place on moms day I ran across this girl selling tulips in the market. I just dug her whole "early 60's vibe" she was rolling with and I wanted a photo, but she was really shy and soft spoken and demured away. Still I talked her into it by chatting up that almost - cherry, white 1960-1963 Mercury Comet (which of course was hers :^) and asking her to pose in front of it. She was very proud of her sled and told me it took her about a year to find it on cragislist.

 

Lesson one about shooting candids on the street; No one has time for you, until you care about something they care about...

 

My man to the right was making his rent the old fashioned way... he was earning it! But I just love that "what you look'n at? NYC look he cut me and the way he strutted that "Bowser" hair. (yes, if you got that last reference your old and were permanently scared by bad 70 TV :^) I was clearly on his turf and bugging him so I soon turned my camera elsewere.
