From the day
Perspective: The Street Photographer · Tactile
The slush of February seeped through my heavy wool trousers as I crouched to snap a group of suffragettes, their stiff linen sashes emblazoned with "votes for women" fluttering in the biting wind. A newsboy nearby shivers in his rough corduroy cap, shouting over the din of the Elevated about German bullets that light up the dark like ghosts. From the open door of a music hall, the brassy swing of *Alexander's Ragtime Band* spills out, making me hum as I thumb the smooth, celluloid edge of my plate holder. I pass a window display of Rook card games, their glossy cardstock catching the pale winter light beside a poster for those new-fangled hydroplanes.
