a fairly hairy affair

right! so new men for you to behold. i know, i know, i spoil you.

Brokeneck mountain

this guy frivolously ignores the highway code when fried chicken is on the menu...

this guy was awesome. i like to think he was best buddies with Allen Ginsberg, and had many a stoned nights together writing blues songs about fellatio.

"Pushing my trolley with the greatest of ease."

The guy on the left has the look of a four year old who is about to get a time out. 

bless.

it juxtaposes his Anton La Vay resemblance stunningly.

this guy is just the coolest chap i have ever laid eyes on

this guy is also pretty rad. He's wearing RED VANS! Oliver Peck would be pleased.

(Oliver Peck is a tattoo artist who can only wear red shoes. It's a thing...)

this guy was lovely, and had tall tales about performing eye surgery before all this laser nonsense. 

i like how he wears glasses and is clearly proud to be myopic. Says a lot. 

this guy drinks in the Lord Nelson in barnet and is partial to an old speckled hen. if u see him, buy him one. it would make his day i imagine.

this guy put his headphones in to drown out the god awful noise crackling through a chav's skull. it sounded like death with some sort of rhyming stanza thrown in for good measure.

seems happy meals do not make a happy man.

i adore how he was using his prescription specs as a visor. 

Master and Commander?

these guys also drink in the Lord Nelson

They share copious amounts of wine and get excited about which salt and pepper shakers get brought to their table at dinner. I hope my life is as awesome as theirs if i ever get to that age. They had a long debate about whether they were hippos or dragons. i go with dragons. i don't think hippos tend to have wings... but i could be wrong. they r older and therefore wiser by default.

This guy was dressed impeccably... bar the hideous plastic bag that has hijacked the spot where a charming old leather briefcase should be.

This guy was also dressed very smartly. He was waiting with baited breath outside the station. I hope it was for a blind date. I hope it went well. I hope they are going to be companions for life and discover a multitude of strange coincidences whilst talking about their respective pasts that make for a very satisfying and enjoyable future together.

bless.

oh, and here is quite possible the coolest sign ever.... 

amazing. 

tales from the crypt

so, hasnt been a bad few weeks with the elder gentry photography... not too shabby at all.

behold...

cryptkeeper with tunes. amazing

this guy aint even that old but i love scotty's attempt of moving out of shot.

morning over the shoulder commute shot. on form even first thing. bam

at first glance you will presume this man is carrying really heavy groceries.

he's carrying toilet roll and barely any groceries.

i hope this guy is an eccentric botanist. he better be. 

this guy was so dapper. last train at stupid o clock and not a single little wine stain, sauce spot, nothing. spotless. he's either really diligent and smooth as eggs... or really boring and drank sparkling water all night.

his wife hates me. 

i'm ok with that.

i love seeing best pals at this age. i hope they r secretly off to the pub for an early morning curer... having told their respective wives they were off to the library 

rolf harris! in my brothers house! what a find!!!

sunglasses... and headphones... in a disco.

wow

he ended up playing acid trance to my mum.

he was a little odd.

i spy with my little eye...

something beginning with "S"

SUIT & SANDALS!!!

have my mum to thank for helping me get this shot. he kept facing away, so every time he turned she would yell "FACE!!!"

was a great help.

this guy was outside my train. he seemed pretty excited about seeing the back of whoever he came to say goodbye to.

this guy was on the phone to the guy he is sat with's daughter... and kept telling her how much he loved her. t'was very very bizarre.

aging rocker... 8 o clock

fashionista (him, not me... clearly)

loved this guy. went to work, got my phone, legged it back down the road in fear i would miss him. 

*phew*

this truly is a sport. 

til next time... 

you're never too old to be ... fashionable. sometimes your fashion is too old to be fashionable....

right, new post. boom. i went to scotland recently, and other than the cowboys in the Opry, was a little disapointed with the fashion up there. seems beige is the new awesome. not awesome. anyway, i got anough awesomely dressed londoners to make up for the life sucking soul crushing beige army up north...

 

hat. spectacular. that is all.

 

bag o' beer, 10 am , 2 walking sticks. this guy is a prepper.

 

who thought choosing your 5 a day could be so deflating.

 

ah, this guy. this guy had the most amazing jacket ever, covered in spangly pin badges and all sorts of nonsense. my camera did not want the world to see this guy. this guy is like the suitcase at the end of pulp fiction. only i know how beautiful it was.

 

pinstripes anyone?

 

amazing jumper. adorable man. half pint of ale. just wanna squeeze him. too cute.

 

this photo is actually in focus, your eyes are just being bejazzled by his outfit.

 

this guy dresses like patrick stewart. it's true. google it.

 

COWBOY!!! (he totally clocked my over the shoulder shot)

 

BOW TIE! loving this guy.

 

this guy is hilarious. i've posted pics of him before, but what the hell.

 

at a festival. rocking out with the elder gentry. i totally dress like one too.

 

was trying to use simon as a diversion, but this guy clocked me too.

 

can u tell how awesome i thought this guy was?! 

 

what makes a cowboy hat even cooler? only a RACOON TAIL! duh!

 

leather a go-go

 

onto glasgow. and beige

 

more beige

 

whats that you say? oh, yeah, more beige

 

beige to the max

 

more..... you guessed it.... BEIGE

 

back to london. spangle fest

 

skip rummaging is one of my favorite past times.  photographing old dudes is also one of my favorite past times. this is .... mindblowing to me.

 

now "vogue" what a shirt/jacket combo.

 

best jogger ever. 

 

as you can see, rory still send me the odd pic. good minion.

 

amazing little busker.

 

cool customer at work.

 

this guy is so fashionable he's pulled.

 

happiest man ever.

 

last but not least, this guy doesn't need cool clothes. he's got the "i'm just chillin" stance down.

right, better get back to work.

til next time.

live long, 

and prosper.
