From the day
Perspective: The Street Photographer · Sound
The rhythmic *clack-clack* of my shutter cuts through the brassy wail of "Poor Butterfly" drifting from a nearby gramophone. I’m framing a shot of a newsie shouting about British ship clearances, his tweed cap pulled low over eyes that have seen too many Saturday rushes. I duck into the bakery to dodge a soot-stained Ford, grumbling as I drop my last **$0.06** on a loaf that was cheaper just last month. Between the screech of the streetcars and talk of whether we'll ever catch the **movies** tonight, the city feels like it’s vibrating toward a breaking point.
