November 12, 2006: Love
This is on Wythe, a few blocks south of the Williamsburg Bridge. I was looking for a Revs piece that I had heard was around there, but I wasn't able to find it. As I turned to bike north, I saw this guy walking up towards me. I snapped a few pictures and smiled as he walked by, and he gave me that ice-cold homeboy stare. That's pretty common-- I'd say about half the time you get the stare, a quarter of the time you get a smile, and a quarter of the time they throw something at you while screaming "don't taking my fucking picture, white-boy!" So it's a crapshoot, really.
