My favorite is probably the guy with the earrings and the silly smirk, eating an ice cream bar.
Reminds me of this great shot of a guy in a purple mohawk carrying flowers to leave at Buckingham Palace for Princess Diana, bawling his eyes out.
There's a red-haired woman in a red coat, profile, just barely acknowledging the camera. Who does she remind me of (besides Barbara Bush)? Is that the Kirsten Dunst reference?
What was it with the eyepatch theme (two people just went to the doctor nearby, probably not from the same shot, though)?
Oh, another good contradiction -- the mother with a baby in a pram, wearing a pirate skull t-shirt.
Lots of people talking on or looking at their cell phones. I always think it's funny how we try to imagine what the future will be like and we didn't imagine people walking down the street absorbed in a funny gadget the size of a pack of cards.
I love that guy, too, lysdexic... and I also saw that he was next to the guy dhartung noted as cool (and he is). That's what I love about it: 178 (?) people in one place, and almost all of them are fascinating to me.
