You’d think in the fashion capitol & city that never sleeps, New York City, there would at least be some variety in cane choices. I was surprised to see more traditional and dull canes in NYC compared to those I previously captured in photographs in Europe.

In their daily lives, may of these individuals seemed like they’d crave individuality and/or fashion forwardness, yet their canes did not represent this attitude. Even the older well-dressed gentleman of the Upper East Side, crossed Park Avenue with a cigar in one hand and a cheap cane in the other.
