I think I'm in this camp. Especially since I ended up with the first dude on the left (along with 2 Brazilian chicks and a Brazilian dude) at a NYC McDonald's at 5am in February 2006, and several months later he go-go danced at one of my sets at the Beauty Bar.
Similar kinda crowd, but in the Uk.
I thought the third guy from the left was someone who would say "fuck this, I'm going to check out Robert Wyatt.
Then this:
Scary.
It reminds me of this book a Korean lady did where she immersed herself in various communities, be it musical, ethnic, or otherwise (i.e. strippers) and she would become one with the community and you'd see it through a series of photographs.
Saying. I was going to point this one out too. Bad looks all around.
MOke, whats this website? Looks fascinating. People watching rules.
These are just previews form an newspaper article. The photographer is James Mollison, who's just had them published in a book called 'The Disciples', so no website yet.
The link is to the work of photographer Ari Versluis and stylist Ellie Uyttenbroek, who travel around the world looking for people who fit into their 'tribes' (this is also available in book form).
