From the day
Perspective: The Street Photographer · Sight
The January slush spatters the hem of a lady’s wool walking skirt as she pauses under the glow of 34th Street, her silhouette sharp against the gaslight. I adjust my tripod, framing the chaos at Koster & Bial’s where a bally crowd hovers near the glass. Inside, the scene is a real picture: a United States Marshal sits right in the box office, Klune himself taking possession and hawking tickets to pay off Jennie Joyce’s judgment. It’s a bully bit of drama for the camera, seeing the law count out receipts while the city hums like a new Lionel engine.
