4 - 10 - 10 As I was walking down Third Ave., heading to Union Square Park, I noticed a black guy near 27th St., who I took aside to a buildings wall to photograph him. He wore a gray opened-zippered sweatshirt, with a turquoise t-shirt under it, black jeans and a little multi-colored beanie on his head. His sneakers were trimmed in turquoise leather, with the tongues hanging out. His ears were pierced and wore a gold-chain around his neck. In the Park, I noticed a guy with a mixture of styles going on. He wore a black-and-white wide-striped cardigan, over a white tailored shirt that was half-tucked into his jeans and half out, with a tie around his neck. He wore brown suede moccasins type shoes, wore black framed sunglasses with black lenses and had a blue cap on his head. The next guy wore a military-style outfit, a military jacket with a military-style high hat and across his chest was a brown leather messenger bag. The Japanese guy's hair-style caught my eye, which was spiky and stood straight up on the top of his head. He wore a motorcycle leather jacket with white writings on it and worn-in jeans.
Walking back up Third Avenue a bright orange t-shirt was approaching me. I took the guy aside to the blue wall and photographed him wearing a tan shirt over it with the sleeves rolled up. He topped his head with a tan cap and his sunglasses had blue lenses. He took off his cap to show me his angled haircut, where one side came down longer than the other side. He was tall and slim and taught guitar lessons and lived in Brooklyn. Further up on Third in the 30's, I saw a Japanese guy standing in front of a Japanese restaurant. He wore a black puffy jacket, black t-shirt and very baggy jeans that were hanging low and tucked into his brown boots. He had on a cap, wore earrings, had a light mustache and goatee and wore a gold-chain around his neck.
