12 - 31 - 10 At 34th & Fifth, the shaggy-haired blond guy stood out with his long straight bangs that fell to his eyebrows. It reminded me of a blond Beatlesque hair from way back when. His name was Louis from Belgium and wore a blue scarf around his neck. The sharp-looking black guy on 34th St., had interested hair going on. His sides were shaved and into circular swirls on his head. The top of his head had a mini-Mohawk fringe that went down the center part. It looked good on him. He wore a large black scarf, tightly wrapped around his neck and over his gray blazer-like jacket and his jeans were tucked into black leather combat boots. The last guy that I saw on 34th St. and had to photograph, wore green plastic fun eyeglasses celebrating New Year's with 2011 over his eyes. Atop his head was a multi-colored clown-like hat with Happy New Year on it. It was my last photo for the year and many more to take in the New Year!

11 - 19- 10 Walking along 40th St., near Madison Ave. were two cool guys from the band Mulholland Drive, getting a bite to eat from the nearby deli. They played Kenny's Castaway's in the Village on Fri. nite and playing a gig in Philly the next day. The guy that I took photos of wore a gray fedora over his scruffy hair and goatee, a black puffy jacket, tight lack jeans and black high-top sneakers. Very cool. The Japanese guy on 34th St. was a bit more subdued in his checkered shirt that he wore outside his jeans, thin clear framed eyeglasses and top it all off with diamond stud earrings in both his ears. The black guy standing in front of Victoria Secret's on 34th St. made me look at him, since I liked his long-dread locks that were down to his collar and under his black cap that he wore backwards. His oversized dark sunglasses were frameless, looking like one piece of plastic across his eyes, wore a black sweatshirt with a bright green face caricature on it, a black scarf wrapped around his neck, under a gray army jacket. On West 38th St., I noticed a tall, slim black guy approaching and his hair was noticeably unique. I loved his hair, very styled and haven't seen anything like it. His top hair was a long swirl of hair on this head and perfect and his sides of his hair was shaved, very unique. His eyes were covered in a pair of oversized black oval framed sunglasses, black sweatshirt, under a gray sweatshirt hoodie, gray sweatshirt pants that came to his knees, black socks and black high-top sneakers and a long-hanging necklace around his neck. Walking into Hell's Kitchen flea market, it has become one of my favorite places to visit, considering all the cool people who go and are in the neighborhood. I photographed this guy before and took him in front of a wooden wall, said his name was Zandra, wore a belted salmon colored dress, over tight gray pants and wore turquoise high top sneakers with lots of multi-colored bangles on his wrist and a broach on his dress, very outrageous, but individualistic, loved it. Nest was a guy dressed almost in all black, the New York code apparel, except for his gray fedora hat, black suit jacket, scarf wrapped around his neck, black jeans, black sunglasses and white shoes.

11 - 13 - 10 In Hell's Kitchen's flea market at 9th & 39th, a guy with dreadlocks, under his denim cap with paisley print on the top, stood by the military jackets. Took him aside, as he was wearing an army green, short jacket, a grey hoodie sweatshirt under it, tight jeans and had a light beard, looking good. The next guy, was into posing for me in torn jeans, tight gray, pullover sweater, very large aviator sunglasses and carried a shoulder bag and a little wisp of facial hair under his bottom lip. Gave me a nice smile for his portrait. The guy with two cameras across his chest, one he said was for film, the other digital was dressed in a 3-piece suit, each piece not matching, along with a tie and looked eclectic. He had necklace adornments around his neck, one large and a wood peace sign on a chord. Over his curly hair was a colorful knit cap. His wooden piercings thru one end of his ear and out the other, were eye-catching. Walking back to my apt. and on 9th Avenue, a very tall, slim guy, dressed in all black, stood out amongst the crowd of people. He wore very slim, black tight jeans, a long white t-shirt, hanging out from his biker leather jacket. He draped a long wide loose black scarf around his neck and had on a pair of classic black sunglasses. His hair matched his outfit, with all over black hair, high on the front of his head, he had a piece of white hair in the front, very unique.

10 - 30 - 10 The tall, thin black guy outside of Grand Central Station was very model-like, even when he posed for my camera and dressed in classic black velvet blazer, a white collarless shirt under it, black tight pants. He also had on a pair of large aviator mirrored sunglasses, showing off a great pair of cheekbones and loved his hair, which was combed back and into a tight hanging braid. He carried two tote bags. Walking over to Javits Center a saw a guy standing outside of a building with piercings on this lips,under his lip and thru his nose, along with two large holes in his ears, holding small round disc earrings and shaved hair, except for some on the top of his head. He was dressed all in black, had white graphic design on his black t-shirt and black wrap around sunglasses. A heavy metal look.

His large belt buckle stood out on his jeans, along with his oversize watch with diamonds on his wrist and large ring to go with it. Had orange shoe laces on his white sneakers, matching the orange stripe in his cotton shirt, under his short black jacket.







10 - 23 - 100 Walking near the library on 42nd St. near Fifth Avenue and standing by the wall, I took the guy's photo who was "the man in black" from head to toe. Wearing a black cap, black framed glassed, diamond star earrings in both ears, thin black leather jacket and black jeans. Over by 39th & 9th Avenue was a guy in aviator sunglasses, his hair was closely shaved at the sides, wearing a white graphic t-shirt and tight jeans. The next guy who came by in the exact same place was his scarf that caught my eye and how he worn it loosely around his neck, dark sunglasses and a t-shirt with large GT letters on it, baggy jeans and spoke with an accent and nice tousled hair. Walking around in Hell's Kitchen flea market was a guy with an interesting pair of sunglasses, which looked like one-piece of plastic that wrapped across his eyes, a black dot of an earring, red tight jeans tucked into his boots, a sweater tied around his waist and wore a loose fitting 3/4 sleeve sweater, over his graphic black t-shirt. The next guy in the flea market was cartoonishy-dressed. One couldn't miss him, a stand out amongst the crowd. He wore very round, oversized framed glasses, multi-colored pants, red graphic t-shirt, multi-colored zippered front cotton jacket and light blue, high top converse sneakers.
