I wonder if he drives too fast as well?

Rollei - The bulky first camera phone was later to become the popular iPhone

Steady Cam

Here's the noir private investigator in a bracing wind, bracing himself between two walls whilst his braces abrade the inside of his trenchcoat. Subjects: a brace of thieving schoolgirls, both wearing braces.

Looks a little like James Dean, check the boots, when he had an apartment in NYC. I used an experimental Rollei then MR2 program, that with 8"x10"s, software, Intel 387, and digitizing tablet, created 3D computer vectors from photos. I heard used by Brits in auto accident studies. Canadians were interested after blizzard covered US military air-crash in Gander, Newfoundland before forensics could be finished. Recently bought by Trimble the GPS, GIS company. By the way, the other driver was at fault not Mr. Dean, according to computer reconstruction of accident.

With parking so expensive these days...

Love it! I love a sexy man with a camera...

I just thought to "geotag" this photo if its where I think, not that I could be wrong, it's the "Beaux Arts" Surrogate Court on Chambers Street in NYC, the former Hall of Records. Across the street is the so-called "Tweed Courthouse" that was recently restored. Its power plant was found beyond repair as it had once before and a steam and power conduit deep below the street was dug-up and replaced, the "Tweed" now the headquarters of the NYC Department of Education supplied by the Surrogate Court, "Tweed" is where a number of "Law and Order" episodes were filmed. I worked with two women archaeologists in the cut through the street to the courthouse back under Mayor Giuliani. I worked later on the almshouse cemetery found between the back of the courthouse and the back of City Hall in the public park they share, near Horace Greeley's statue.
