SARTORIAL STYLE
The shop is 'Thomas Farthing' of 40 Museum Street, London, neighbouring the British Museum.
Had no idea what sartorialism is until I googled about Mick Taylor who I met a while ago at Bricklane.
This corn crib on a cold winter morning sits surrounded by frost and snow. It has no source of warmth and even the rabbits look elsewhere once they have experienced its in-hospitality.
Growing up in the 1950s on the farm we experienced different types of cold. When my dad and older brothers first started working the fields in the spring, the mid-day temperatures were often in the 50s and to a little tyke observing the action, on a calm day the sun felt warm but in a few hours a colder north wind could make me shiver and long for a coat.
Increasingly cold days in fall brought out sheepskin jackets, stocking caps and work gloves to do chores in the dark of the morning and at dusk after school. But things got a lot worse in southwestern Minnesota when the first winter storm deposited a few inches of snow that would last until mid-April.
During those daylight-deprived days of winter, the cold penetrated every stitch of clothes you could put on and burned the skin on your thighs. The walk to the barn was a challenge to your toes, ears, nose and chapped lips. Sometimes it got so cold that vain young boys would even put on long-johns although it was the height of sartorial failure to be caught wearing them to school.
It was not uncommon in the coldest days of winter to see farm girls and boys climb into a yellow school bus at the end of the lane without gloves, scarves or caps with ear flaps in order to fit in with their peers who sat shivering in the bus as their own bodies thawed out.
Sixty some years later I know a former farm boy very well whose doctor asked him how his ears got the way they did.
By his question I knew he was a city slicker.

I am always hopeful of asking strangers for a portrait when on holiday, although I am wary of the language barrier.
I saw Kenzzo having a break from the day job in Lisbon and thought that he had such great style and character that I had to ask.
Before approaching him, I wanted to make sure that I had a good spot and what you don't see is that right in front of him is the edge between the strong Mediterranean Sun and the shade. The reason I chose this is to get some reflected light from the floor which was neutral colour - my own makeshift reflector if you like.
Turns out I needn't have worried about the language barrier as Kenzzo spoke perfect English. I think he said he was originally from Guinea-Bissau but lives now in Lisbon working at Toni and Guy.
This was one of my favourite encounters of recent times and that was completely coming from his energy.
Thank you so much for your time Kenzzo.

Installment #3 of the Cheeky Chimera Collection-
As implied by the title, these earrings are dripping with a glam rock glittering excess that still, somehow, stays both classy and elegant. How miraculous!
In fact, these earrings embody my notions of a Cheeky Chimera: a fantastical monster composed of vignettes from dreams and waking life...
Each earring is unambiguously different from it's mate, and still clearly belonging to it.
Hammered brass wire is intermixed with freshwater pearls, rhinestones, Swarovski crystals, and glass beads, and several accent details from recycled costume jewelry.
Chains dangle from each earring, adding graceful movement and accentuate a slender neckline.
Though loaded with panache, the earrings are amazingly lightweight!

My 1000th 998th 978th photo (after photo deletion to make room). I thought I'd try to make it a style statement. Of sorts.
I saw Jama, by our train station as I walking toa festival but saw that he was busy, so we carried on walking. However, in the back of my mind, I was hoping he would be going to the festival too, which was a pretty strong likelihood.
In keeping with my recent approach of ask first and work out how to take the portrait later, I went up to him when we were in the middle of the field. He was there with his friend Marjie and both could not have been a friendlier bunch. Jama agreed to a portrait straight away.
I thought the greens would go well with the pink of his suit anyway so took the picture where we were. It turns out Jama is quite well known in Portabello Road, London and a quick search on the interwebs showed many great portraits of him in many different suits.
He also gave me lots of options, I went with this slightly more mysterious one for my submission and will be sharing more later.
Thanks very much Jama for your generosity of time.

The beauty of walking around in London a lot while doing the 100 strangers project is that if you see a stranger in the right area you are able to choose a good spot a bit more easily.
When I say Pete and Sandra walking in Soho I knew that Bridal Lane would be a fantastic spot. I approached them and they were the loveliest couple you could meet. They were very generous of their time and also giving me tips about places they had seen in London including the restaurant Sketch which they told me was fantastic.
The portrait here is of Pete only just because it was his style that drew my attention first, from the glasses, shirt, suit and even more. I have put more up on my instagram feed.
Pete met his wife Sandra when she sold him a car - the most expensive car he ever bought!!
Thank you so much Pete and Sandra for your generosity. It's encounters like these that put a smile to my face.

Joseph was my second stranger from the day and had the kind of style that is begging for a portrait. So it was not surprising to hear that he had been gets pictures taken of him quite often. The difference this time was I had asked.
From Gloucester, he was down in London this weekend as he was celebrating his birthday and had been partying the night before. I was lucky to catch him as he was waiting for the AA to fix his broken down car so that he could head back. He and his friends seemed relaxed and let me know that if they couldn't sort his car out then they would find another party to go to.
Thanks Joseph for a allowing me a snippet of your time.

When walking into town one weekend we bumped into a classic car gathering in our high street. While there were lot's of cool cars, Anthony took it to the next level by matching his style to the car.
His classic car is the Lotus Elite and he had it for one month when this picture was taken. The breaks had already gone but he thinks of him more of a custodian rather than classic car owner.
This shot was taken on an extremely busy street in a tight space so the original shot had a few distracting people and the crop very tight.
I decided to use this as an opportunity to use Photoshop AI features to expand the frame slightly and to remove the distracting passers by. All of this would have been perfectly doable without the AI from the shots I had but this was made much easier with this functionality.
Thank you so much for your time Anthony. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the
