From the day
Perspective: The Street Photographer · Sound
The clatter of iron-rimmed wheels on the cobblestones competes with the heavy sigh of a nearby escalator, but I’m waiting for the light to hit that lace high collar just right. A group of men in heavy wool coats are gossiping about Dr. Anderson’s election in Chicago, looking fit as a fiddle despite the biting January wind. I duck into the bakery to escape the chill, tossing my last copper nickel onto the counter for a sourdough loaf; it’s a steep **$0.05** just to keep my stomach from growling while I work. Outside, a woman with a perfect Gibson Girl silhouette adjusts her parasol, and the click of my shutter captures her against the gray city smog.
