It Was a Hipsta Kinda Year

2012 was a slow year for me in regards to my usual picture-taking adventures.  Yeah, there’s a decent sized bucket of unprocessed film with all kinds of thought-provoking images to uncover.  But it’s nothing like in years past.  I guess being jumped by 3 dudes on Halloween, harassed by many, and unlawfully detained by police for taking pictures in public is just too tiresome for this ol’ dog.  Despite that, I did what everybody else is doing nowadays (privately, I was told I should follow the beaten path more often), so I tried my best at raising my digital photography street-cred by snapping a few pics with my Hipstamatic equipped iPhone.

It was fun and pretty deece for some picture-taking, but it’s nothing like  shooting with meat and potatoes, B&W film.

Be warned though.

Merry Christmas.

I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I did taking them because one of the occupational hazards of doing street photography kicked in that night, and I was jumped by three dudes for documenting their assault on another man.  I held my own, got my phone back and captured their faces and license plate in order to make them YouTube stars.

Enjoy the collection…
