Prince Albert

Prince Albert

March 22, 2009

Camden Town is in north central London. It is a site of a set of locks along the Regent’s Canal. Its large market place is nuts in attitude and with staggering numbers of tourists. The market is a cross between a Renaissance faire & future-bizarro world. I kept thinking I was in the Bruce Willis movie “The Fifth Element” having actually arrived in Phlogiston 9.
John (performance name “Prince Albert”) is 78 years old and has been acquiring piercings for the last 15 years. He is very pleasant and friendly and he supports himself one pound sterling a picture. He is the person on the left.
