Thinking About: New Year's Resolutions

Remember to always carry a good camera, and until Feb, and the new season think about "What Makes a Great Camera?"

BoxPark Shoreditch... And The Tuc's in Brazil

BoxPark Shoreditch... Yes he is that tall and I love these jumpsuits perfect for "Cocooning"...

Meanwhile, for anyone reading who attends LFW and who knows my son Arthur aka "The Tuc's" I wanted to share a pic Luisa sent from Brazil where they are visiting for Christmas. He schleps around his grandmothers property with a small ladder he found, a great tool for an inquisitive 2 yo to explore...

Folkloric style at The Old Truman Brewery...

Loved the folkloric textile her traditional looking cape so graphic and interesting weave... She is from Dusseldorf know to me for beer and for Altbier, which means old beer

Cold, Cold, Cold...

This woman was on vacation from Southern California and seemed to be enjoying the very cold weather...

He was not as fond of the weather... Meanwhile, I'm DJ'ing at an up-and-coming lounge in Brixtion Friday Kaff-bar.co.uk

Christmas Party: Cheshire Street Merchants E2

From the Archive...

I was searching our archive of unpublished pics for some unusual shoes... Luisa took this photo in May 2008 but who knows when she got the shoes...

Starting to feel a lot like Christmas...

Love the scarf matching the color of the shoe... "West-Grunge-Meets-Optimism"she told me that she grew up in San Francisco but has lived and loved London for a while now...

Good Coffee and a cigarette while running errands...
