b is for brrrrrooklyn, boardwalk; c is for coney, clouds.

so it turns out 50 degrees isn't denim jacket weather, especially when there's cloud cover and wind blustering off the water. thanks to my shivers, 90 percent of the photos i took today are blurred. the highlight of the morning was when a red-faced, well-rounded, crazy-looking lady approached me, unzipping and holding open her knee-length coat. she shouted past its fur-lined hood and through the wind at me in russian, i think. she was offering to keep me warm in her coat? i nodded a decline and thanked her anyway. and then she told me (this time in english) my jacket was "stupid." i had to agree.

but i learned a valuable lesson: keep gloves, a hat, and a pashmina in the photo bag.
