Another Snowstorm and People Photographs, Part 2

I was around one of the NYU dorms on 2nd Ave trying to clean off my lens when this guy passed. I didn't quite notice him at first since I was focused on my camera, but then I thought to myself 'wait a minute, did I just see purple pants and a leopard print umbrella just pass??'

When I was just starting out in photography I would have taken a photograph from behind and convinced myself that it was good enough, too timid to approach the person directly. This time, I jogged him down the block and tapped him on the shoulder a couple of times to get his attention through his headphones.

And what do you know? He was excited about me taking his photo! I mean... who dresses like that and doesn't want their photo taken?
