"What are you passionate about?"
"Well, I love to cook. My specialty's Italian," he said.
"When did you first start cooking?"
"I spent thirteen years on a ship in the navy as a cook."
"Cool! You must've been all around the world..."
"No, not really," he said. "Just to Europe, The Middle East, and Africa."

"We're one big happy family," she said, "with another one on the way!"
"Wow! What do you think it's going to be like with two of them?"
"I can't even imagine. He'd know, though," she motioned to him. "This is his third, so he'd know."

"Hey--ya need a model?"
"Sure."
"My fiancee and I just got a new place here. We're from New Jersey."
"Anything else I should know?"
"Yeah, I'm a minister, DJ, and notary. I can marry anybody anytime anywhere!"

"Can I get your picture?"
"Smoking and texting???"
"Sure, if that's you," I said.
"That's me," she said.
"What else is you?"
"I love books. Fiction, art history. And poetry. Don't forget to put poetry!"

"Give me beautiful women, art, and good literature, although it's hard to find good literature. Last book I read was by Thich Nhat Hahn: I'm all about mindfulness."

Centre Square

Knowing that I'm snapping away, he stuffs fried rice in her mouth. "C'mon! He's taking pictures... Smile for the camera! Smile!" He's laughing and so is she, and she's also losing part of her dinner. They're definitely in love.
 

Second Street and Northampton

"Can I get your picture?"
"How much is that camera?" he asks.
I'm confused by his question, and he says, "'Cuz if I break it with my face, ya can't ask for no check!"
I laugh. "What's the happiest you've ever been?"
"You have to ask my mom," he says. "That's the last time I was happy..."

Sometimes when I'm snapping photos, I make assumptions.
"How long have you been together?" I asked.
"We're not. We're just friends."
I was, for whatever reason, taken aback.
"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Second stupid question on my part.
"It's great!" She yelled as they walked away.

He said, "The best thing about life is never knowing what's going to happen next."
"You like that?" I asked him. 
"Yeah! That's what makes it so exciting!"

Third Street

"How long have we been together? About six years total, but we just got married. And we just moved to Easton two days ago. We're trying to get phone service!"
