From the day
Perspective: The Street Photographer · Sight
The flashbulb pops, freezing a bobbed silhouette in beaded silk as she glides past a newsstand screaming about Senator Johnson joining the Republican fray. I duck into the shadows of the alley, grumbling at the gas station sign across the way; payin’ $0.30 a gallon just to keep the Ford rattling along is absolute applesauce. A cloche hat tilts low over a pair of T-strap heels clicking against the damp pavement, the sharp scent of ozone mingling with the distant hum of a new commercial radio broadcast. Everything’s moving too fast, from the drop-waisted hemlines to the jagged headlines, but through my viewfinder, the world finally stands still.
