A Parisian, An Englishman & An Italian

P1270553

Classic jermyn dstreet I Saw this fella outside the Trickers shop in London a week prior to the day i shot this. I asked him if I could take his picture and he said "oh no, keep your camera where it is". I begged and pleaded and he still said no. A few days later I saw him as he boarded the train from London to Paris,Again I asked and he said "Oh no,certainly not" so I went back to my seat . Not too much longer, I went back with my laptop and asked if I could show him what it is I do and he obliged. He was most amused with my photos of men in hats but would not let me take his picture. I asked if he was going to Paris and he said no, he would be continuing on- Well… a few days later I ran into him on the streets of Paris, he noticed me the same second i did him (as depicted in the photo above) and he dashed across the street! I saw him walking into a bank and waited outside, when he finally came out, he saw me and hid behind an obstacle on the sidewalk. At that point, I let him go… I love this man.

London Part I

P1260794

I wish i could say her dad had a tie on and it was tucked into his trousers, but he was probably wearing bootcut jeans with puma trainers and a skinnyminny 80's rocker tie tied loosely around his neck like a necklace as so many other european men are these days. but these school kids were dressed so well. With all these American Apparel stores poping up, and haberdasheries closing, where will the british dandies be shopping?
