Mfangano Street Style


Spotted this smartly dressed chap at a gathering of the island's council members and chiefs.  All the men appeared to be rocking rather daper caps, but this gentleman pulled it off the best.

Bangladeshi Girl

 Bangladeshi Girl by Cosmo Sarson.  Hanbury Street, East London.

"There’s a strange dichotomy down brick lane, where the art is like some kind of white middle class cultural invasion pushing itself on to what is obviously a tight knit Bangladeshi community and I felt that needed redressing somehow. It’s a portrait of a Bangladeshi girl in front of broken glass and layered graff marks. She represents the local Bangladeshi community, the broken glass and mark making are symbolic of urban decay."  -interview with the artist and Little London Observationist.  

For the rest of the interview, go here.    Also, check out his website

Sunday Best

Now that's fashion.  Sundays here are a dream for colors and creative accoutrements.  Those headpieces!  Puffed sleeves!

Laundry, Woman, and Man on Roof

One of the views from my office window here on the island.  The laundry was brought in just before the rains hit. And I ran home just as the rain hit at its hardest.  This shot was worth it though.
