Scott, most photographers go far out of their way to never show the trash that is stacked up everywhere in New York. This pic is bubbling with authenticity regarding America's most populated metropolis. Thanks!
Sorry, MK's bags don't do it for me at all; the best I can say for them is that they are unaffected, as in "I need these bags and don't care how they look with my outfit."
Yes, I'd like to reconfirm this as an Elvis Costello v.2.0 look as noted by a previous poster (mind you I love EC and have seen him in concert half a dozen times).
Must say I'm a little over Ray Ban Wayfarers. Personally I prefer Persols for a similar look with I think, a bit more style.
Appreciate the Vittorio De Sica reference, but this stylish prankster would definitely be out of place in that gloomy masterpiece. Dude, oil your chain – that old beauty has earned it!
Mr. Schuman– Clearly the perp can be identified from your most excellent photo. No doubt you have contacted the proper authorities. White socks? And it's after Labor Day! A criminal offense. Oh yeah, BTW, I wondered who stole my bike! ;-)
I really love your pics and blog, since I have not been in NY yet, everybody says that fashion trends from NY reach us only a year after, so this blog gives me the opportunity to verify if it's treu or not and to follow-up what's trendy in NY right now, what people are wearing at that particular day. So I feel more up-to-date now for sure, and this is amazing:)
hahaha.. thats so funny!! you know, there is this video out there showing how know one cares if they see someone steeling a bike.. its so funny.. The guy takes out a power saw and cuts a lock in Times square.. and nothing happens..This picture reminded me of it.. haha..
Best dressed bicycle thief I've ever seen! Digging the hat w the perfectly fitted suit. And the white socks give this whole chic look a bit of gooberosity that makes him fun.
Is this guy setting the bike up to be taken to the trash, or is he resurrecting the bike from sure death? The white socks kill it for me…this guy could do better, but he chooses not to. Can't he find another pole to harass with his bike?
Wow! I really love your blog. I have bookmarked this page so I can come back again to check it out. I love information ray ban sunglasses, I collect them. I just hope you keep up the good work.
