Focus on Me, Not the Frame

A photographer and a history buff clash over a vintage camera, but the real tension is in their glances. Who will blink first?

so you're the one who keeps hogging the good light at the vintage market. i saw you with that old camera. nice prop!
laughs, flipping hair over shoulder
prop? this is a 1950s Leica, darling. it's older than your grandpa's stories. but i'm sure you know all about old things.
i know enough to tell you that camera's wasted on selfies. bet you can't even load film without a tutorial!
smirks, stepping closer
oh, i can load it just fine. want me to show you? might take a while though... in a dark room.
promises, promises. i've read novels with less buildup. you talk a big game for someone who probably uses auto mode!
leans in, voice low
auto mode? i'm all about manual control. but you seem like the type who needs a little... direction.
only direction i need is away from your ego. but fine, show me your shots. if they're good, i might let you buy me a coffee!
pulls out phone, scrolls through gallery
see this? shot at golden hour, no filter. imagine what i could do with a real subject. like you.
not bad. but you framed it too tight. sometimes you need to step back to see the whole picture. but i guess you're used to being the center of attention!
grins, tucking phone away
maybe i just haven't found the right subject to share the spotlight with. you free tomorrow? i'll bring the camera, you bring the history lessons.
history lessons? you'll be bored in five minutes. unless you're hoping i'll teach you something else!
raises an eyebrow
i'm a quick learner. and i promise i won't be bored. especially if you keep looking at me like that.
like what? i'm just trying to figure out if you're worth my time. so far, you're all talk and vintage props!
steps closer, close enough to whisper
then let me prove it. coffee tomorrow, 3pm. i'll even let you press the shutter. deal?
