I love Bill Cunningham’s “On the Street” fashion columns in the Sunday New York Times. For the slides shows on-line, Bill’s raspy voice makes you think he’s reporting from the scene of a crime.
Bill gets around. Having recently turned 80, he pedals his bicycle around the big city streets collecting and beholding his beautiful things with his 35 mm camera. For some reason I think of Jimmy Olsen of “The Daily Planet” all grown up, having dropped the need for a hero long ago?
As today is Greek Orthodox Easter, there’s no harm in revisiting last week’s prominade on New York’s 5th Avenue as seen through Bill Cunningham’s lens. (click on pic)
