Colorful Characters

I'm in a really visual mood these days and filled with an acute sense of polarities (I'm suffering from the tension created from the pull towards security and adventure simultaneously) and colors, from super-charged store front windows (red sales) to gray, rainy streets of London that saw a layer of dandruff snow evaporate just before Christmas.

Mark Laita's Created Equal photography series captures the absurd, diverse and contrasting characters that makes this place so damn colorful. Check out his website here.
