An Englishman in New York As an Englishman in New York, I have always been in awe of the city I now call home. You could be uptown at a swanky Park Ave dinner party one moment and in a raucous Lower East Side dive bar sinking $3 PBR lagers the next.

This has provided daily inspiration me to pick up my Contax and go shoot ...

It was a surreal version of our new r...
