Wandering Around Chambers St. and Chinatown

I've been getting into a rut lately because I always walk the same streets when I go out, so I decided to walk to Chambers St. and around Chinatown, with no particular shots in mind.  I usually shoot that way, but normally I just walk and walk and if I see something interesting, I'll stop and get the shot.  Today I decided to walk one or two blocks and then stop for 5-10 minutes to see if anything interesting would happen.

I spotted this guy's hat from a block away.  It's so bright and eye catching and when I saw him I thought of how when you walk in the woods during hunting season you're supposed to wear bright clothing (usually orange from what I hear) so that you won't be mistaken for a deer or any other animal.  I've been seeing a lot of people walking around in bright neon colors like orange or pink.


























Then when I was walking around Chinatown, near Catherine street, I kept hearing some guy behind me singing at the top of his lungs.  I tried to ignore him, but he was so loud that eventually I turned around to see what was going on.  When I turned around, I see this guy singing loudly and staring right at me.  I quickly turned my camera to video mode and got about 30 seconds of his performance.



I didn't get too many good shots that day, but I felt that the video made up for the lack of photos. I'm definitely glad that the weather is warming up and that the days are getting longer.  Longer hours, better weather and more people in the streets.
