late to the party

[Winston-Salem, NC]

forgive me.  i realize i'm a little late to the party on this one.  i've finally gotten my hands on the panasonic gf1... decked it out with a swanky brown leather case and the 14mm. even the lens hood has some style to it.  if you dabble in the imaging world you may be a.) unamused by old news or b.) drooling.  the gf1 is a street photographer's best friend-- high quality imaging, plenty of user control, old school swag.

the image above is of our friends Will and Lindley... one of the first i shot with the gf1... leaving the draught house friday night. we were in fact late to the party, though very much content in our tardiness.  "if you're going to be late, you might as well be happy about it," was my mantra throughout college.  tardiness might be justified by swinging by a cafe, staying a little longer in the studio or gallery, catching up with a friend, or pausing to take advantage of a photo-op.
