I headed into Columbus today around noon. Because of the game it was mostly a ghost town until it ended.
I was walking down the street from the metro library and I saw a guy on an empty street corner in a rather loud Hawaiian shirt with big cokebottle sunglasses turning around in his spot taking shots with I'm not sure what. Something very compact and black. Leica M9?
Got my RF out although I probably should have whipped out my DSLR. Alas, he turned around and saw me. Drat.
I thought of stopping and saying hi, maybe doing a pose, etc but I chose instead to make Like Two Ships Passing In The Night and walked by with a smirk on my face to my car just a block away.
I drive back down the same street, I stop at a light, and lo and behold this guy is sitting behind me in a big shiny Lincoln (I think) clicking away. Again, I make a bad choice by not pulling out the one camera with AF and take a blind shot behind me. He was about thirty feet away and I'm pretty sure I was on infinity lock so I probably didn't get anything usable, but it was quite funny and thrilling. Just then the light turned green and I saw him stopped, halfway through the turn as I took off.
I hope he's on here so maybe we can duel again.
*PEW PEW PEW* *blows smoking barrel*
Then again, following someone like that might be a tad creepy.
inb4 cool story, bro
