DRESS FOR SUCCESS

I was walking around the Wall St. area during a lunch break. Temps reached into the 90's that day. Streets were crowded with the normal workers and tourists. Up the street comes this guy, back from shopping, walking in his little "bikini" as if it was the most normal thing on the streets of NYC! Me.....finger always on the button, fired off a few for your viewing pleasure. S.S. style, of course.
PS... when he reached the next block, where a construction site was in full swing, the guys fired off a slew of cat whistles, hey babes and whooped it up nice and loud. Didn't faze him in the least.

S.S.

Well, he may be scantidly clad, but he definately isn't a slacker - look at that definition. He is either a laborer or he knows a gym somewhere!

Quite a moment to capture!

There's a flickr user called naked in new york who does some seriously funny self portraits of himself naked in public places. Sometimes he even gets crowd participation.

Love it! This is a superdoodle megadoodle photo. Brilliant, meaning really Brilliant. Pure street photo. One of your best photos to me. I think that, after seeing this photo, I have a different image of NY ;D. He's such an interesting character. Good body, weird, nice hairdo, self-confidence. This is the sort of man you see in naked demonstrations or naked raids anti-war, or the one used in candy-camera shows. I would have stopped him and asked him why he was wearing just his underwear. Really love it. It puts a BIG SMILE on my face

man you really report from the front line, it's always refreshing, inventive, and captivating. The thing I love about this shot is his choice of footwear, he's still got woolly socks and thick shoes on incase his feet caught a chill!

This is one of the reasons I love NYC so much... You never know WHAT you'll find around the next corner! ;^) I love the looks on the guys' faces to the right... priceless! Is he showing off his toned physique, I wonder? :0)

brilliant capture :)

he is in very good shape, so it's normal he wants the world feels envy of him.

and I prefer his way of dressing much more than the people who is around him...
