Mr Archibald James


Ridley Road Market, Friday 24th October.

Er, probs shoulda posted the colour version, given the amazing lion's head print. Mr James has said he is happt to take modelling requests, within reason.

I've been useless, still can't quite get my head around how this blog is going to work. Plus I want to shoot most of it on film, which is slowing it down... Perhaps I should think of it like 'A Man A Day', which sounds like a slut's diet du choix.

So, the plan could be...
Photograph one man every day, but it doesn't have to be necessarily posted in order. It can be any man; although the idea of this blog was based around men's style, I think there are other things going on making me so interested in them (apart from being a perv). So style can encompass anything visual about them - even the light or space they might be in.

Here's to trying... x

Jon Buck


Back when we used to live together in Brighton, Jon and my other flatmate Simon, were my muses.

This is a variation on a picture from my degree show project, called, originally, The Men. (Even more originally, this project was a follow on from, you guessed it, The Boys)

Fred, 1998


I thought I should start from the beginning...

One of my first pictures of a man, the first available one, my brother Fred. Not in London then, but he is now!

I know every other fucker has a street style blog these days, and this is what has stopped me from going for it sooner. But I've been taking pictures of men for 10 years, and looking at them for even longer, and even if this is merely an online record of me being a total skeeze...well so be it.
