Tourists bring style to London

This guy was not sure what I wanted when I approached him and his friend on Brick Lane but upon seeing my old Japanese computer bag saying that deep "Ooooooo" and posed for me...

Need To Catch Up...

 

For a while I have been trying to get to Redchurch St and see if these two women were still around... Firstly, because I so enjoyed chatting with these women and their ambition to open a Pop-Up foe Christmas... Secondly, the woman on the right had such a great smile but tensed as I was about to snap... But because pro-bloggers are all bombarded with PR to push their clients brand however we set up as a project to document real street fashion and and my interests in writing social history since 1955 the year of my birth...

End of the Roll...

I hope you enjoyed seeing my afternoon out last Sunday around Brick Lane...

"No Photography Allowed"...

"So who's there"but not anybody I knew!

A Successful Weekend Break... Shopping...

When I met them, him and his partner schlepping through the cobbled streets behind Truman, with three big holdalls... Mostly great vintage.. The church in the background, Christ Church was built between the years 1714 and 1729 Christ Church Spitalfields

Hiding from the wind....

Cocooning-on-Corner waiting for a frend...

(Ooops, not enough light as it was already dark. I got a little lazy and didn't feel like assembling the flash. I hoped to get away with it...)

Off to Cocktails after a disappointing day shopping...

Late and still no bags... Down from Redding for a day's shopping and said they were going to find a cool lounge for a drink...

Gray Knits... World's-Tallest-Pixie-Style... LDN

Very first shot of the day before I even considered lighting and as you can see I had already lost the light for the day... But, I still think you can see her great style, love the grays... PS: She was out vintage shopping and found nothing... Introducing myself with the "Have you come as the World's-Tallest-Pixie?" She laughed "We're Australian"... She was so lady-like and chic... Because I was so rushed I could not learn too much But imagining a back story "I think he's a surfer in London spending winnings on the surfers circuit, while they wind their way back to AUS"Xx

PS: She was tall...
