I wouldn't normally write about strange people, since there are quite a few of them in this city, and I've learned to ignore them, but this one was abnormally weird. I had just left work, and I'm standing at the bus stop on Broadway and 22nd St, when this guy wearing a kilt and flip flops walks up and sets up his camera on a mini tripod on a standpipe by the corner. He's got the camera pointed towards the empire state building and it's on a timer. He then walks to the corner about 10 feet away, turns, and when the timer is about ready go off, he runs close to the camera, jumps up and kicks his heels together. I'm guessing the first few pictures didn't turn out right, because he proceeds to do this three more times. I almost wanted to go up to him and tell him I'd take his picture if he'd let me take another one with my phone. I decided not to in the end because, although he looked like he was from out of town, I couldn't tell if he was just a tourist or some crazy escaped mental patient. It did make for an entertaining wait at the bus stop though.
