This is probably my favorite photo I have EVER taken. I was walking around the Fenway area and spotted him by himself taking a smoke break. After going up to him and introducing ourselves, I asked to take his photograph for my “Strangers” assignment and he asked, “Should I comb my hair or something?” and pulled out a comb from his pocket. This was a completely natural pose he did on his own, without guidance from me. He was a very kind gentleman and I hope to cross paths again with him soon so I can give him a print of this photo. – Taken with a Yashica Mat 124g on Kodak TriX 400. . . . . . . . . . #filmphotography #filmisnotdead #film #filmisalive #kodak #yashica #blackandwhite #blackandwhitefilm #filmphotographer #strangers #photographingstrangers #usps #postalworker #filmphotooftheday #photooftheday #photographylife #followingboston #bostonportraits #bostonportrait #portraitphotographer #portraitpage #portraitsboston #portraitboston #filmcollective #moodyfilm

It’s actually true… . “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds” . . #usps #ilpostino #thepostman #usmail #street #nyc

We work very hard to get our costumers all their deliveries ? and is sad how 1000’s of people don’t appreciate what we do no matter what Mother Nature throws at us. On my behalf, this one is for all us out there. #usps #usa #mail #unitedstatespostalservice #winter #snow #cold #wind #lettercarrier #usmail #winter2018

My adorable little Post Office. It’s the smallest one in North County and has the shortest line. Notice I didn’t say “lines”, because there’s only one. I’ve never had more than 2 people ahead of me. It is closed from 1:00 to 1:30 so the only worker can take her lunch break! ????? #Leucadia #encinitas #coasthighway #usps @leucadia101mainstreet @encinitas101mainstreet @encinitasmag
