1 - 14 - 10 Walking thru Grand Central Station, a very eccentric guy was standing near the ticket booth, drinking a coffee. Lots of people were looking at him. I asked him to stand near the wall and photographed him in a red-plaid tartan jacket, black leather sash around his waist, which had silver chains hanging off of it, black leather boots to his knees. He was dark-skinned and talked with an accent, wearing a pair of black framed, yellow lensed sunglasses and a spiked leather collar around his neck. His hair was most striking, since it was standing up, perfecting straight, atop his head, in a long, spike-like look. The next guy, I saw was standing at a corner on Fifth Ave., in the 30's. I took him near a wall and he posed for me, wearing jeans that had holes at the knees and a plaid scarf, tucked into his zippered short jacket. His male friend's hair caught my eye, which was shaggy on his head and swept across his forehead and wore a large pair of sunglasses. Walking further down Fifth Ave., I noticed a smartly dressed guy in a black wool peacoat with a gray scarf around his neck and a gray wool skull cap on his head, along with a pair of extra large, dark sunglasses. He posed with his arm tucked into his jacket. Next, came a group of European travelers. The first guy was from Portugal and had his stand near a wall. He
wore a light gray wool jacket that looked very European, which had a double roll of silver buttons and collarless. His dark hair looked stylish cut with the ends standing up. His friend who was from Italy, had a wool jacket on with pockets on the chest, loosely around his neck was a scarf,
his jeans had some bleach marks on them and were tucked into army-looking ankle boots.
Over near the Fashion Tents at Bryant Park, I guy who wore a wool, bright yellow blazer, carrying a large tote bag and wore suede brown shoes, told me he worked for a designer. He top his head with a gray wool skull cap. A guy who, looked liked a female, was handing out flyers for the shows, was dressed all in black, wearing a floppy front jacket, under it was something long that came down to his knees, almost dress-like, tight black jeans and a skull cap. He wore black rectangle frame sunglasses.
