Did you hear what happened? He didn’t have a clue!
Well, I’m about to use yet another word herein that I’ve not used before. However, this time I won’t tell you what it is. You’ll have to look for it. Haha. It’ll be easy to spot.
OK. I’m not a street savvy guy. Never have been, probably never will be. So, here I am, downtown Akron, shooting pictures with Chris Klug. Yes! We met this weekend, but more on that in another post.
So, here we are in the heart of downtown, across from the library, taking photos. We each sit on the edge of a water fountain that has some interesting modern art, taking photos from a different angle. I finished first, then started looking around for other things to photograph. Chris kept shooting.
I noticed movement out of the corner of my eye. A young lady was approaching. She had a shaved head, a pretty face, and a nice set of … ummm, personality. 
She came right up to the fountain and sat beside me. A conversation ensued:
Lady: What’s up?
Paul: Nothing much. What’s up with you?
Lady: Just out looking for a place to spend the night.
Paul: Oh really?
Lady: Yes. Really.
Paul: (Silence … don’t know what else to say. “Nice weather” doesn’t seem appropriate)
Lady: So, like I said, I’m looking to find a place to spend the night.
Paul: Oh. Well, good luck.
Paul: Chris! You ready to go?
Chris: Ready when you are.
Paul: (to lady). Well, it was nice meeting you. We’re from out of town and we are just down here doing some photography.
Lady: OK.
So, we left. That was that. When I told the story to my brother, Charles, he laughed pretty hard. He said: Doug! (my middle name). You didn’t know that that was a hooker trying to pick you up? What she was saying was that she wanted the two, or perhaps three of you, to get a room, transact some business, and then she’d keep the room the rest of the night. My brother Charles, in his earlier years was of the street, for the street, by the street, so I trust his interpretations of these things fully!
I said to Charles: Ummmmm. No, I didn’t know that! 
Well, I know a little bit about cameras, but precious little about the street!

Funny story. You seem to learn a lot these days.
Randy Crawford’s awesome Street life comes to my mind. I love that song.
Ove: Life is a constant learning experience and, of late, always humorous! I like to laugh about many things.
So, the weird thing is that I was concentrating on the image I was trying to get so much that even though I knew you were talking to someone, I didn’t understand a word until I turned back to you and you asked if I was done. I figured with your skill at making friends on the street, it had to be something innocent. Guess not.
Well, she wanted to be more than friends. LOL! It was innocent … on my part.
LOL!!!! A great story to start my day. Paul. LOL
