PERSON OF THE MONTH: PATRICK Q. F. BARR


Patrick Q. F. Barr 




This is Patrick Q. F. Barr, known in the street as "Tiger Hood". We were incredibly lucky to meet him around Soho about a week ago. It all happen as we were taking a walk on Lafayette St. All of a sudden we saw a bunch of milk cartons laying on the floor. As we passed by, there were a bunch of pictures displayed on the sidewalk. While appreciating the art, Mr. Barr approached us; It turns out they were his work. 
 Before we knew it, we were in the middle of a very interesting conversation. His charisma and photographic talent quickly captivated us. For every picture we looked at, he explained its origin, its meaning, and its very witty name. 
As the conversation developed, we noticed that most of his pictures had a very profound antique touch. He then explained that he doesn't just consider himself a photographer, but more of a historian. His photography collected all the colors and diversity of NYC through out the years. From all of the amazing stories he told us, there were three words that really stuck with us;

"Don't Fuck Around"
