What's more exciting than finding someone in the position that you have been longing to find for most of your life?
Bill Cunningham just so happens to be a cultural anthropologist photographer. He captures the streets of New York and apparently finds styles that are not 'cookie-cutter' to be the most captivating. Bill spends his days riding his bike around New York and capturing the shots he wants.
Many of his shots are of people walking, mostly unaware that he is capturing them. He reminds me of Robert Doisneau and his street photography.
After much prodding they were finally able to have Bill agree to making a documentary of his genius. I look forward to watching the video and see the passion that has kept this man of 82 years riding his bike through New York as a living legend :)
I hope to someday tie all of the things I have learned and majored in, in school, together to find one overarching job. And Now I see that is possible.
