On the Street...West 36th St., New York

Comments on "On the Street...West 36th St., New York"

 

Anonymous Sophie said ... (5:21 PM) : 

Is he a mechanic or a model?? I would love to think he's just the most stylish mechanic in NYC (except for the cigarette!), but he looks a little too put together.

 

Anonymous 119pepero said ... (5:28 PM) : 

..This is why i love this blog. I prefer looking people like this with surprising characteristics and unique atmosphere/style a lot more than some 'style icon' a non-newyorker like me can't even recognise

 

Blogger MJCK said ... (5:32 PM) : 

Most beautiful overall I've ever seen. Probably because I've never seen anyone wearing a fáshionable overall with an actually intention to wear it while working and getting dirty. Awesome.

 

Blogger Louise said ... (5:32 PM) : 

This is great! It reminds me of a grungier version of the cute outfits the Oil Can Henry employees wear.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (5:33 PM) : 

I always imagine mechanics to be greasy and dirty, so this young man seems too clean to be true.

 

Blogger Christina said ... (5:34 PM) : 

I like this shot. The zippers make the jumpsuit more interesting and his glasses are perfect.

Blogger James Graham said ... (6:33 PM) : 

Neat!

But based in the shoes, I'm guessing he's not a real mechanic.

Real mechanics deal with grease.

 

Blogger Sheila said ... (6:39 PM) : 

The only thing striking here is his face. B&W highlights HIM, not his clothing. It's the same tone as the background.

 

Anonymous Gary said ... (7:20 PM) : 

Wow, he's cool.

It's all in the attitude. I think he is more elegant than Anna. It's proof that it's not fancy or expensive clothes that make a style. It's the caracter, the way things are worn, the attitude. Perfect.

Not gonna lie- this guy looks pretty badass! I think its the combination of the glasses and the outfit plus the way a person carries themselves always can make them look awesome too.

Like the janitor girl with the dreadlocks - you can individualize any uniform and stand out at work. Pretty slick & stylized for coveralls with the zippers, and slim fit. Nicely rolled up sleeves, nerd chic glasses, and lightweight runners eliminate the grubby mechanic look and make him into a moto-tech.

The cigarette is a dead giveaway that this guy's a model. Few real mechanics would risk smoking near gasoline and oil.

But what was the photographer or stylist thinking when s/he asked the model to pose with a cigarette in his hand?

Anonymous Alessandro said ... (1:19 PM) : 

Interesting photo of a mechanic. I see nothing especially stylish in the overalls - I happen to have seen my mechanic in more interesting Alfa Romeo branded overalls (in Woodbridge ON), since he works and loves this marque. Nd I happen to own some as well, which I use for motorcycling on windy days. However, what is much more interesting is how the lemmings start outpouring poetic expressions of style and taste and personal 'je ne sais quoi', which at first are a little quaint, only to become annyoing. I've noticed this in many threads. Some pictures depict absolute beauty, like the lady in the hat, and a few others; but other pictures seem to me like Scott is having fun with us, just to see how accurate his predicted count of lemmings' comments was. So, this picture ultimately, is a good psychological device.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (1:36 PM) : 

a skinny guy with a cigarette passing for style. uninspired, indulgent, and completely detached from reality. i love the idea of shooting a mechanic, but this is the sort of photo that inspired the scathing, spot-on and hilarious "derelicte" satire in Zoolander.
