On Wednesday, Niki and I went and did some more apartment hunting. We had put in an application for an apt that we really liked, but we wanted to keep looking in case it fell through. This one place we saw was a two bedroom with a backyard and a finished basement that was 3,000 sq. ft! It was INSANE...but also crazy overpriced.
On Friday morning I went to look at more apartments. The first place I saw was on 2nd St and was in the building that Timothy Greenfield-Sanders owns. I didn't know who he was at the time, but I was carrying my camera and when he was showing me the apartment (you can see him standing there in to doorway in this photo), he asked "Oh, are you a photographer?" I was like, "Yeah, but I'm more of a hobbyist." He was like "Well, I'm a photographer. Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, maybe you've heard of me?" Somehow I managed to keep a straight face and I was like "Actually, no I'm sorry, I haven't. Should I have?" He then went on to tell me about all the portraits he's shot of famous people and actually said the very unintentionally Will Ferrelesque "I'm kind of a really famous photographer." I was like "Oooooo-kay, doh-kay! So how about you show me the apartment?"
After my run-in with GREATNESS, I went to check out a different apartment building a few blocks away over on 3rd & C which ended up being the place Niki and I eventually moved into.
