Anne Christensen on Sixth Avenue outside of the tents during fashion week. The movement of the person in the background suggests how challening it was to weave through people at New York Fashion Week, let alone get a clear picture.

I found Carine Roitfeld fun and really cooperative with my requests. Instead of shooting a full body picture of her, this close-up picture of her wearing a hoodie with the wind blowing her hair was captivating. Notice the cab driver in the background.

This is Brian Ermanski and this is not his kid, nor is it mine. This little boy curiously walked in on the photo wanting to see what was going on. A delightful moment in time caught on camera for years to come.

The editorial style pose in this picture still rivets my attention. You might be able to notice the guy in background looking back, wondering what was going on.

I was walking across Lafayette Street when I heard the putter coming from the engine on this man's moped. Not only are the different historical references in his outfit mesmerizing, but the fact that the foreground is juxtaposed against a background of people and buildings from 2007, give this photo a paradoxical feel.

This is Sato. I like his absolutely couture approach to avant-garde style.

This is one of the first photos I took at London Fashion Week. Not only did I think her outfit was superb, but I deliberately left the street sign in the composition in the background for added visual impact.

Androgyny fascinates me when it is artfully expressed. The perfect hairline on this girl, her still facial expression, and the curved lines which lead to the dual decker bus in London in the background made for an intersting shot.

I always admire people who defy modern fashion in favor of retro-style couture. Notice the leading lines of the row of homes, leading off into the far distance, where you can see Londoners going about their daily business.

The outfit is inspiring and so is the fact that you can see the words "London Fashion Week" on the car doors in the background.

At the end of the Donna Karen show at New York Fashion Week, the fire department showed up. I'm guessing there was a report that the building had violated some fire code and the excess crowd was causing street congestion. While the lights from the F.D.N.Y. truck in the background were going off, I was able to snap this shot of well know model Irina Kulikova.

London Fashion Week was an amazing experience. Sadly it's time to wind down my trip to London, fly back to New York, and prepare for Paris Fashion Week.

So between now and next Saturday, posts will resume back to their normal speed with an increase in pictures per post beginning next Saturday on the opening day of Paris Fashion Week.

See you soon!

I know what I'm about to say probably sounds worn and trite like an old smelly 1970's vintage flannel shirt, but I'm sorry for the recent lack of updates. This will soon end however with fashion month coming up where you will be able to find daily updates from New York Fashion Week, London Fashion Week, and Paris Fashion Week.

As well, I've been working on a few behind the scenes gigs which have keep me from the streets. But when you see what's in store for fashion month, I can almost promise you will be amazed.

See you soon!

Poppy Delevingne (Storm, London) exits the SS17 Burberry show at London Fashion Week

Cara Delevingne (Storm, London) exits the SS17 Burberry show at London Fashion Week

By the way, it's pronounced Bur-brie (as in the cheese) by the Brits and not Bur-berry (as in the fruit). And to think I was like all "American" sounding going Bur-berry all these years!

I think the contrast between the two sisters style as seen in these pics from today is quite interesting, don't you think?

p.s. and in having nothing to do with the Delevingne sisters and everything to do with street style, make sure to hop over to the new L'Oreal Paris Your Style Your Studio for hair site by clicking HERE. It's genius surfing hair styles uploaded by people from around the world.

I can't wait to see what kind of colorful outfit I hope to catch Jourdan wearing this Paris Fashion Week. You can see it all at TeenVogue.com

First off, I wanted to say THANK YOU to each and everyone of you who took the time to extend your condolences to me. Words really can't do justice to the sincerity with which I say this thanks from the bottom of my heart. May good karma come back to you all in the form of Rick Owens and Marc Jacobs goods!

Now on to some new street style! I am so excited to get my camera out again. We have New York Fashion Week coming up, London Fashion Week...so much to look forward to in the near future that I'm about ready to camp out at Bryant Park starting this weekend. <---kidding On a more serious note, in the first picture you have Andre. Be sure to click the picture to enlarge the photo so you can better see the details: the colored stitching on his lapels, his rings, his cufflinks. In a word, awesome.

In the second picture you see some subtler style as evinced by Patrick. His perfectly scuplted hair inspired by the 50's beatnick and greaser is the primary focus, his epaulettes on his black button down which color coordinate well with his skin a close second.

Again, Thank You to everyone for your words of condolence and patience with waiting for new material to be posted.

Onwards and upwards, fashion week awaits us all!

The Independent, a British based newspaper recently mentioned this about altamira, "Dubbed 'Models off duty,' this blog captures the streetstyle of all kinds of fashion professionals including the industry's best-known models, often predicting soon-to-be-famous new faces."

Not only has this site been recognized as the single most powerful concentrated resource for models street style on the internet, but over time, that reach and influence will just grow more and more.

So stay tuned for updates during the coming fashion season.

After getting back from London Fashion Week, I was impressed with the number of men and women in London that embraced the past in their sense of style. I wondered if we didn't have some of that here in NYC, especially at the tents during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.

I started to search my archived photos and I found this delightful ensemble referenced in the past: the feather in her headpiece, the straight skirt, and the arched heel on her t-strap pumps, and the small bag being immediately apparent examples to me.
