From the day
Perspective: The Street Photographer · Sight
The morning light catches the sharp creases of wool waistcoats and the stiff, starch-white collars of the gentlemen crowding the newsstand. Blimey, the headlines are a mess of graft and gas trades, yet those corrupt senators still have the coin to fill their motorcar tanks at **$0.10** a gallon without a second thought. I steady my lens on a woman in a sweeping silk skirt, her silhouette framed against a brick wall plastered with theater bills. She ignores the shouting newsboys to hum a bar of that "Merry Oldsmobile" tune, her shadow lengthening as the spring sun cuts through the city’s rising grit.
