Here are a few of my street candids from our trip (still going, currently in Florence). Parma, Italia:

Great photos. I'm not so sure the next leg of your journey will yield quite so sartorially splendid results... but good luck!

Nice photos. Are you looking to supplant the Sartorialist?

My favorite is the b&w photo of a man standing beside a row bikes.

Great photos. Have you been in Europe for the past few months?

I'm guessing those weren't taken with the back of your mobile phone.

Thanks, I will do that tomorrow. I found more serious menswear in Milan (not to mention some excellent style on the street); it seems more "fashion" type stores here. (This is my first visit to the country.) Milan was like a mecca with every serious brand having a storefront in one small area.

Unfortunately just a few weeks.

And she really rides her bike like that.

Thanks! I'm not trying to mimic him, though... mine are candids. I don't think anyone above was aware I was taking the photo (from the hip). And they're not such epitomes of style as I'm more after lifestyle shots rather than those putting effort into their dress. I missed taking shots of much more well dressed people simply for lack of a good photo opportunity or an uninteresting background.

Great photos.

I always marvel at how in many parts of Europe most people on the street seem to look great, regardless of age. Maybe it's because of a lot of oversized and unflattering clothing I see on folks here in the US, but I'm always taken by how most people seem to be dressed well in various parts of Europe. I'll be back there in a month and look forward to observing people on the street.

I think it's because people in Europe take more care with their appearance and are willing to spend more on clothes than your average American. Also, I think there are generally stricter dress codes (unspoken or otherwise) in the workplace.

Great photos, though. I like the spontaneity...

IMO it is more a fit issue than a cash issue.
