Lovely. The day after I created this these eejits appeared in front of me whilst wandering about at lunch. Heaven sent one might say. It required a bit of overtaking and hiding around a corner action but all tings considered a satisfactory catch, its a shame I couldn’t get all of the bags/haircuts in shot but as its the first attempt I’m sure you’ll forgive me…

I can only surmise that these three were taking a daily pilgramage from the mecca of hoxton and shoreditch to go to the apple store.

nice haircuts too

The Mission

Well I just can’t let the opportunity pass to shame some of the extreme fashion victims I see on my way to and from work in Brick Lane. Having worked around here for a year or two I’ve seen some prize sights and thought it was about time this was spread to the wider world.

I have seen plenty of dire attempts, including the infamous bear hat man (honestly he looked like a cross between a court jester and a cro magnon – he was indescribable but had some sort of fluffly coat/poncho/cocoon on with pointy shoes). And now in my magnanimity I will share this with anyone who is willing to plough through my rubbish rhetoric to forage for the good stuff.

The Method

I have 2 techniques scoped out for the mission;

1) I’m going to pretend to take scenery photos with my camera phone and really secretly snap people

2) I’m going to procure a digital SLR and actually ask them if they could pose, I figure that they will be vain/naive enough for it.

The Results

These will be posted up here whenever I have a fresh batch.
