| This is a book by Farid Abdelouahab that I picked up a while ago whilst living in Belgium. Translated this means " Books of the Sea ". This book contains many sketch books, post cards and memoirs of fisherman from the likes of Victor Hugo and Bernard Moitessier. The colors and illustrations are really rich and the styles vary enormously, from really loose styles to tight botanical type sketches. |

| Discovered the photographer Todd Hido recently. The moods are amazing, the watery windscreens a great filter. Reminds me of a photographic Turner. |

| I saw this guy today just around the corner from my office enjoying a cigarette break. Very softly spoken and very happy for me to take a photograph of him. We have a little taste of summer happening at the moment in NYC so I was particularly taken with his play on yellow. From the hair to the tee to the stitching on his Doc Marten boots. |

| Now I'm not saying that I condone graffiti but I have to say I was mightily impressed with some of the "Street Art" that I found on a recent trip to Amsterdam. The quality was really good as you can see. These images were taken on Spuistraat in the 9 streets district. |

| I was most fortunate to notice this chap today hanging around Bryant Park. His name is Louis Mendes and he is a world renowned photographer who travels around the U.S photographing people in public places. He has also photographed celebrities such as Spike Lee, Denzel Washington and Tito Puente. You can find out more about him through Wikipedia. |
