Dandy Wellington

I just saw a nice write up about Fine and Dandy's pop up shop that happened this last weekend on The Moment.  Very cool!  Dandy Wellington and His Made to Measure band played to close out the festiviities on Sun.  These shots are from my day with Dandy last winter up in Harlem.

Dapper Holidays: Fine & Dandy Pop Up Shop

My friends at Fine & Dandy Shop are having a pop up shop this weekend that is not to be missed!

There will be cocktails, shoeshines, Richard Haines making portrait sketches, Dandy Wellington and His Made to Measure Band, and of course all the dandy accessories you could possibly want courtesy of Fine & Dandy.  And this will all take place at the Blind Barber (!)  How could you resist?  Here are the details.

Dandy Wellington, Part 1

Dandy Wellington, NYC, March 2010

Here is a sneak peak at the shoot I did with Fine And Dandy for their New School Dandy style profile on Dandy Wellington. We visited him at his beautiful home in Hamilton Heights, then went out for a stroll. More to come, but this is one of my favs.

The older man came shuffling thru our "set" on Hamilton Terrace, and he said he was happy to see that "people were still doing it". Dandy Wellington thanked him, and that is when I took the picture. To see the scene a bit better give it a click.

Douglas and Max are coming to town!

Ok, they are not coming to town, but it just sounded cute with the shot! Recently on a beautiful pre-spring day in the West Village I photographed Douglas as part of my dandy portrait project. Watch out for the rest of the story - including go-go dancing at Boots & Saddle!!

Fine and Dandy: A Fine Collaboration

Recently I have begun to collaborate with Fine and Dandy Shop on their "New School Dandy" profiles. They find the dandies (can't miss them!) and I make the portraits - what could possibly be better? Here is the first one - Michael Salerno, The Upstate Dandy (as they called him):
