From the day
Perspective: The Street Photographer · Sound
The brassy melody of "Whispering" drifts from a shop door, nearly drowned out by the clatter of T-strap heels on the sidewalk and the sharp scent of industrial chemicals wafting from the nearby docks. I adjust the lens of my camera to capture a stunning sheba in a beaded silk shift, her bobbed hair tucked neatly under a felt cloche hat as she pauses to check her reflection. She digs into her handbag, grumbling as she fishes out **$0.11** for a single loaf of bread, a price that makes me want to tell her it’s all baloney. I have a bit of a crush on the way the afternoon light hits the grit of this city, catching the steam and the rush of a world finally making its own way.
