From the day
Perspective: The Street Photographer · Sight
The flashbulb pops, catching the sharp silhouette of a real sheba in a silk cloche hat as she navigates the damp New York pavement. Beside her, a street urchin clutches a brand-new Raggedy Andy to his chest, the doll’s red yarn hair a shock of color against the gray newsprint shouting about President Harding and the weight of foreign debts. The evening air is thick with the scent of roasted chestnuts and the mechanical hum of a city that refuses to stand still.
