A city is only as interesting as the people who call it home. This thread is a compilation of all the people photos I've taken in St. Louis over the past several years. Hope you enjoy.

The People of Saint Louis...

Awesome. I remember a lot of these ones. You haven't managed to snag a picture of the guy in the wheelchair with the tunes blaring all the time have you? I think I must have run into him at least once a week in the CWE.

The Laclede cabbie with the thumbs up cracks my shit up every damn time, and I've seen that pic at least five or six times. He reminds me of Kumar Pullana from the Wes Anderson flics for some reason (even though they don't look alike).

Great thread, Jive!

Wonderful...

I think this could be my favourite thread on this forum.

What a marvellous display of humanity - so much joy, humour and tenderness in these photos.

I wish I had the guts to snap people in London, but they'd just tell me to bugger off!

thank you thank you thank you

This reminds me why I am so happy in the suburbs. I feel weird when I am not around the gelled up spikey hair types. These people are just to different for me and my fellow comrads at target.........

Just joking. Amazing thread. One of my most memorable ones yet....I was actually walking through downtown today thinking of your thread and looking at people wondering which ones were full of enough character to fit into this thread.

Fantastic job at capturing city life! So often when someone is different, unique or intimidating in appearance, we turn away.
