I met this gentleman in Tompkins Sq. Park while testing out the Rolleiflex 3.5E that I picked up on eBay. I was admiring one of the cherry blossoms and he approached me, said hello and we struck up a conversation about what it's like to be young and new to the city — as well as all of the dreams and goals that go along with it. He's been here sixty years and is a painter.
