ps. you might recognize this young man from a post I did about Coney Island in August 2006 and from my book.
UPDATE - I should have written this when I first posted this image. One of the reasons I take a shot like this is that it is so uniquely American.
I took this shot Monday, I had just returned from Moscow and Berlin and, guess what, you don't see this there.
You don't see this type of style in Milan or Paris or Sydney or Stockholm. When I see a gentleman like this, like his style or hate his style, I'm forced to react. I think my blog only works when I can have both Lino AND a gentleman like this presented.
