the girl who left her camera at the dive bar tonight and didn't even look back
was at that quiet spot in silver lake around 11pm. saw a girl sitting alone at the corner table with a notebook and a heavy 35mm slr. she looked like she was waiting for someone who wasn't showing up. when she finally stood up to leave, she just shoved her chair back and walked out. she left the camera bag right on the bench. not a single look back. didn't even seem like she cared. someone shouted after her but she just kept walking into the fog like a ghost.
everyone calm down, she came back ten minutes later, grabbed it, and left again without saying a word to the bartender.
Reply to coffee_and_grain： wait really? did she look upset?
i think i know who this is. she's always at the bars around here, strictly working on that black and white project. she's usually way more careful than that.
Reply to silverlake_local： yeah, that's definitely . she never lets that gear leave her side. something must have happened.
she's the most guarded person i know. leaving that bag behind was probably the most honest thing she's done all week.
is it just me or did she look like she was running from something?
she always looks like she's carrying the world on her shoulders. honestly, i'd be a mess too if i lived in that apartment by myself.
i've seen her shooting at the blue hour. she's so precise, the idea of her just 'forgetting' something feels intentional.
maybe she just doesn't want the photos anymore? if the subject left her, maybe the camera is just dead weight.
wait, did anyone grab it? that's a professional piece of gear, she's gonna be devastated when she realizes.
