Late afternoon, sun turning golden. I met Amanda on Elizabeth and Canal Street for a walk through Chinatown. She brought an all-metal Pentax slr with a manual 50mm lens. The viewfinder was good and bright. Chinatown was lively as usual with foot traffic from tourists and the locals gathering in Columbus Park. From there we hopped a ferry during dusk and had dinner at Enoteca Maria in St. George. Great food and wine as usual.
At Bay Street Landing, a guy up a tree was breaking branches. A cop car approached. I’m used to being questioned while a camera is in my hands so I quickly diverted the cops attention to the branch fondler. His night in the treehouse was over.

Tourists and locals gather on the 7 o’clock ferry to Staten Island just after sunset.
