We spent Sunday cruising round the markets of East London with friends Dan and Bianca. Took in the Columbia road flower markets which were crazy packed, spialfields full of the usual crafty type stuff and finally Brick lane markets. We have been down Brick lane before but never really checked out the market as such. It was great! Loads of trash and treasure type stuff. Clothes, signage all kinds of things. Even this guy (above) arguing over the price of peacock feathers. Definitely a good day out, even just for people watching.

OK. I think this will be last of the Candid photos from New York. This guy was stood on the corner of West 58th Street and 5th Ave. We were waiting to cross the street with a bunch of other people but this guy was somewhere else entirely. Lost in thought or maybe just lost, I think it’s probably the former as he’s got a local New Yorker kind of vibe about him. I wonder what was on his mind? More than something like don’t for get to buy milk, I’m guessing.

Another Candid from New York. This guy rocked my world! Nothing says “Straight up Mack” like a full length fur coat.

Another one shot from a distance and probably not the best photo, if I had a bigger set of nuts on me I would have been more obvious and just taken a closer shot but instead I hung back and this is all I got. This one falls under the category of regret. Still, He is crazy fly!

Another picture that fall under the category of people I don’t know. Traffic cops are everywhere in New York. I took this shot from a fair distance as I figured that police probably aren’t that down with having their picture taken, particularly this guy. He’s got a bit of a “You best not step to this” kinda vibe about him.

Jade and I had the good fortune to spend Easter in New York City. We both fell in love with the city and spent 5 days walking around thinking about where we’d live if we were to re-locate.

We stayed in Midtown and pretty much walked the length and breadth of Manhattan, from Spanish Harlem to visit our friend Andrea to wall street. It felt like I took loads of photos but it turns out that the majority of them are of typography and signage or people I don’t know like the one above.
