Mohawk on Dirtbag Alley

Great hairstyle. Why don't more people have hair like that? Must be easy to maintain, surely?

And at the other end of the fashion scale, functional attire.

These shots are exactly what I was looking for - Well executed portraits, all the faces of London, going about their business. Perfect environmental portrait.

Well this guy clearly knows what he's doing fashion wise. Eamon's been busy out on the streets of London again, and he has a great knack of finding great Londoners and photographing them really well.

We've blogged loads of older people, and here is a younger Londoner. But why does she look so unhappy? Fed up of high property prices, unavailability of NHS dentists and yet more congestion charges already?

Gilbert & George at the opening of their retrospective, Tate Modern

Yes it's really them. Gilbert and George at the openin of their new exhibition at Tate Modern.

There's something about the way Paul crops these portraits, and the way only a small amount of the picture is in focus.

Even without seeing these people's eyes, we can sense the connection between subject and photographer. Even though usually we connect via the eyes.

I couldn't resist posting anohter fabulous shot from david.

Everything here is right - her gaze, her pose, the setting, and the perfect lighting.

I love Fen's slices of British life. If people ever complain about "vanishing Britain", I'll just show them her photos, and say "Really?"

I love the way this guy had added colour to an otherwise dull winter's day.
