TATOOS and HOUNDS

There are 80,000 dogs registered in NYC.  Over 500,000 in all the boroughs.

That is a lot of  POOP………..the favorite dog is the Yorkshire Terrier……followed by the Shih Tzu.

TATTOOS and New Yorkers

I started the day shooting TATTOOS of friends…….  on my terrace.

Then I moved around town……….looking for more INK

I think he will probably get more INK on his left arm.

TATTOOS in NYC…..or SKIN CITY

This weeks TIME OUT magazine calls New York the CITY OF COLOR.

As I stroll the streets I snap people with tattoos.  When I ask them to let me photo the art, no one has ever said “NO”.

Are you a TATTOO newby?  Do your research • Visualize • Consult •  Book your appt. • Bring a friend •  Tip •  Take care

NEW YORKERS Love Their Tattoos

I just walk up to people and ask if I can shoot their tattoo.  They always say YES.

GUCCI MEN and BOYS • Spring 2016

GUCCI has gone “dÉtourement [ the situationist principal of appropriating existing work]……..”remix it”……….subvert it so that it creats an uproar.  Well……has the designer Allesandro Michele succeeded?

Probably.

How much of it will be seen on the street of New York next Spring?

LOTS!

It is a mixed bag of items that will appeal to many of GUCCI devotees.

There is a lot of GUIPURE……..[fancy French name for heavy lace]……..he uses it for shorts and collars.  Are the frilly bows too pussy for a man?

Does a boy is a blouse or a skirt shock?

CLICK on your favorite boy to see him up close

Allesandro is known as the new SAVIOR for Gucci.

 Let’s hope this collection saves Gucci.

Le Pain Quotidien and INTL COFFEE DAY

Today is INTERNATIONAL COFFEE DAY………..organic September.

My barista, Jesus, was on the corner handing out tickets for a free cup of coffee at Le Pain Quotidien.

Jesus lives with the Blessed Virgin on his arm.  Beautiful !

So I took my ticket to their cafe in Central Park. That’s me in the pink shirt and baseball cap…………sharing a table with two lovely ladies [tourists from London].

Inside the cafe ………….a communal table……….nice place to meet other New Yorkers………and tourists.

Shade grown organic Peruvian coffee.  Good times happen over coffee.
