after stopping off the 101 -- i was friggin' tired -- for a doppio in the Valley on the way into Hollywood ... i noticed these two guys engaged in a one-sided game of chess.
finished my doppio.
and ... then ... approached them and asked if i may make a few photos.
why?
why didn't i just "shoot it spy-style" and leave?
dunno.
it's like a feeling.
sometimes i do.
the last time i was denied was in palm springs by a fat couple.
whatever.
perhaps they knew that i was perhaps making a parody photo.
dunno.
don't really care.
these guys said something in farsi and i heard the word leica.
they were very very cool.
didn't stick around to find out who won.
i was on a mission.
but ... i got a photo!
leica mp. nocti-lust ... 50/1.0. 1/30th at 1.4. ilford delta 400 (+1 at 800)

There was a young man from Japan
Whose verses never would scan.
When they said this was so,
He said, "Yes, I know,
But I always try to get as many words in the last line
as I possibly can."

The mood is great, I like the athmosphere, they seem very absorbed in their game, chess is such a great game. The one at the right looks a bit like the "mafia boss" from "Mullholland Drive" by David Lynch, the one who spits out his cappuccino. Which brings us back to Starbucks...
The bad thing about asking for taking a shot, a lot of people change and looks unnatural.
Nice touch the clear focus on the played game area and faces.
