“Babycakes Romero has the ability to blend into the background unlike anyone I have ever seen. He has built-in camouflage. A chameleon with a camera. You would think he was wearing Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak for the amount of attention he gets. His stealth mode is so finely tuned it actually made it difficult for him to be filmed as we weren’t sure where he was a lot of the time.”

Simon J Levene, film director.

“Babycakes Romero is committed to doing whatever it takes in his pursuit of documentation. He has no hesitation to put himself in the firing line to get the shot. He is willing to risk everything . He is the Don McCullin of West London. A war photographer on the streets of London, just without the war bit.”

S J Levene, film director.

“This is the first in a series of mini ‘docs’ where we give you a no holes barred expose of the reclusive photographer that is Babycakes Romero. We were granted exclusive access and he allowed himself to be filmed for the first time ever.  We will take you behind the scenes, to show you his unconventional methods, his radical style and will ultimately reveal why this camera shy photographer is hiding in the shadows of his own exposures. We bring you the man behind the myth. The man behind the made up name.”

Simon J Levene, director (Tube Poker)

I started the week with the carnival and am going to end with it as well as had to include this photograph. These two gentlemen are Italian tourists who I spotted waltzing drunk down Portobello Road all kitted up for carnival. Only problem was..they were a whole day early. They either got the date totally wrong or were just too hyped up to wait till the following day to wear their snazzy outfits. They tried to brazen it out and were even giving passersby drunken glances of contempt for not getting into the carnival spirit. I kind of loved them for that. They were probably going to go home and say how shit carnival was…just lots of clothes stalls and people sitting around drinking coffee…

By the way if anyone has ever replied to one of my email posts I have never received as is a donotreply address which comes straight from website (this is not abundantly clear). Anyway, would like to apologise if you feel you were ignored in any way and if you would like to get in touch please email bcr@babycakesromero.com or comment on the site itself. Chars!

It chucked it down on Carnival Monday this year..it put off hundreds of thousands of people but those who came were the party die-hards who weren’t going to let a bit of rain get in the way of their big weekend. If anything, they seemed to enjoy themselves even more than usual, as you can see…

It was a true display of humanity at is best: playful, defiant, jubilant, harmonious and just a little bit wasted…okay, maybe more than just a little bit…
