"Hey!" he says, "take my picture!" because that's what he always says when he sees me. "I don't have a camera," I tell him, and he seems a little disapointed. But I remember I have the Hasselbad in my backpack (snapping my spine) so I plop down on a chair outside the coffee shop and try and figure out how to get film in it (not so bad). Omar is a little dejected. "I'm happy," he says, "but I'm tired, worn out." All the liquor stores and bars in the area have stopped serving him. He's charming when he's sober but turns into a mean drunk. I think I've taken about nine photos when I realize that I have one white dot and one blue dot and one purple dot on the side of the camera, and i realize that's probably not good -- there's no number in the frame window. Then I realize that you might need to turn the OTHER crank on the back of the camera. so I do. the film winds, a number shows up, I take a photo of omar: http://www.kylecassidy.com/lj/2007/hassey-omar3.jpg it cost freaking EIGHT DOLLARS so have this roll of film developed. i "scanned" it by photographing it with my leica d200 (that's my thumb at the top left).
