From the day
Perspective: The Street Photographer · Sight
The slush is thick on Broadway, catching the yellow flicker of the midday lanterns and the sharp silhouettes of men in heavy wool overcoats. I lean against a newsstand, where the ink on the headlines about Senator Hale’s fears of internationalism is still damp enough to smudge a thumb. I take a quick snapshot of a young woman in a cloche hat as she digs through her purse, grumbling that **$0.06** is a steep price for a simple loaf of bread these days. She sighs, her breath a white plume in the freezing air, while the distant, tinny melody of "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" drifts from a nearby doorway.
