These kids were awesome. They were hanging out at the tables of an otherwise empty outdoor cafe, smoking and hanging out. The four of us went up to look at the menu, tourist-style, with me and my camera out, tourist-style.
“Take our picture!”
I pull up the camera and aim. It doesn’t take much for me. They gimme this:
I love it. They say “fuck you!” & etc.
I say “fuck all ya’ll!” out of reflex, and pull the camera back up. “Alright, gimme another one”. This time everybody gets their fingers up:
We started walking away, waving and saying “OK” or whatever.
One of the kids says, “Are you American?”
I say, “yes”
He says “I love you!”
We smile back and keep going.
I guess I really am from Ireland.
Thanks, Cork.
