Waiting for the Bus

I love this photo:

zaius_loves_donuts.jpg

Why? Well, why not? It’s in groovy black-and-white and has the slightly flattened, zoomed-in perspective that I often shoot with myself. There’s some awesome mid-century googie architecture in the background, and it looks like that’s probably the famous Randy’s Donuts to the right. Oh, and there’s frickin’ Dr. Zaius sitting on a bus-bench in modern-day (well, 1968, anyway) Los Angeles. How could you not love this?

I found it here, via Boing Boing, of course. I recommend checking out all of the photos in that set. There’s a lot of beautiful, nostalgic, and somewhat weird stuff. Be warned, though — there is some hippie-style nudity. If that sort of thing bothers you.
