It was a bit unsettling, he looked just about the same. Couldn't say
that about the missus. The daughter looked like her mother from 30 years
ago. I asked about Milan, but apparently he was out of town.

One thing I noticed, they had lockers in the middle of the store.
Itinerant photographers store their gear there as a form of theft
protection. Musing on it today, I decided to do a photo essay on those
photographers. Those guys have my utmost respect, doing street Polaroid
portraits, with special effects right then and there on the emulsion. No
dilettantes there.
I'll pitch it tomorrow, but either way I'm doing it.
