around the corner, originally uploaded by thejane.

old photo of the block around the corner from my house.

there's a guy that lives in the building in the middle of the photo who never walks on sidewalks.. only in the street. sometimes he walks backwards. he rummages through knick-knacks in people's trash. his place must be filled w/ ceramic poodles, liscence plates, etc. he's balding now.. but i remember when he had a full head of hair. he should be in his late 30s now. quite an interesting fellow.

so i keep reading the english manuals online for the kiev 4. i feel like i have an extreme case of ADD. i think i'm missing the take-up spool.. but there is one included but it's different from the manual's. plus the shutter butter is loooose. i dont think i'll figure it out till i get back to school and ask the camera guru of the photo dept.

sis is going to live in hong kong soon for a few years since she got hired. some drama at home w/ the worried parents and the tempermental attitudes. avoid jane avoid.
