Halloween in SF
One of the odder outfits in the fin. district. The other photo I have of this guy, he is smiling, but I finally got him to not smile. Taken with a Leica M6 with Summicron 35/2 with Fuji negative film. The sword was real, and we chatted about the Kill Bill replica Hanzo Hattori swords and I asked him if he was a student of this stuff, and he said he had studied kendo for awhile.

I like the "look" of the 35mm Summicron.
As for the look of the guy, you're right, very odd :P.
He looks like he just walked out of his bathroom (with the robe and the Birkenstocks).
Scene:
Bathroom Samurai walks up to a woman on the street.
Woman exclaims, "Hi Big Guy, is that the handle of a Hanzo Hattori katana, or are you just happy to see me?!?"

lol! It was halloween, so could be the poor guy just lost a bet or something. Also, notice he's trying to hide his pack of smokes behind his back.
I think the Japanese would call this guy "hen" ;) as in "henna gaijin" ! Hope he didn't make his way to Union Square, or the Japanese tourists would be fleeing!
