He was one big walking cliché. Leica - check. 35mm Summicron, because that's what Eisenstadt used, dammit - check. In-you-face-edgy photographic "technique" - check.
From and works in NYC, thinks NYC is the centre of the universe and the only place on the planet where interesting stuff happens, the biggest cliché of all - get the big red pen out, people, and scribe a big double tick on the list!

The guy's name is
Bruce Gilden, but that video has been taken down, and I couldn't be bothered finding a non-YouTube version.
