Craig Arend a.k.a. Altamira is an amazing street fashion photojournalist. He says, "The inspiration for Altamira has been in me for a couple of years already, even before I started my site. If you've ever been to Paris and experienced the style scene near the Etienne Marcel Metro station, you'll see the area where I first began taking photos of people back in May of 2006. I waited a year until I decided to finally start altamira. The name ALTA MIRA actually is derived from the caves in Spain. When literally translated, it means, "High View"--of NYC."
