Race To Get The Camera

First you need to meet a guy down by the warehouses, follow the red arrow for your general direction. Time is ticking so grind as much stuff as you can for speed. Turns out he got mugged and a different guy has the camera up by the bus shelter so follow the red arrow back up the road. An option is to use the concrete slopes to get up onto the electrical wires for grinding, you can do this both ways. Now we need film, swerve around hard to the left and head to the plaza. The film is outside the Nokia shop, grind along the benches to get it. Lastly head back to the photographer guy on the pier. Time isn't that tight, as long as you use some good grinding you should finish with over ten seconds left on the clock.
