From the day
Perspective: The Street Photographer · Sight
The sun sizzles on the pavement, glinting off the polished brass of a passing Pierce-Arrow while a newsie bellows about the Prudential president pocketing policy-holder millions. I focus my lens on a flapper in a pleated skirt who looks as though she’s never heard of a soul-killing **robot** or a **polygraph** test, her eyes bright with the promise of more "giggle water" tonight. Her fella adjusts his straw boater and laughs off the rising price of bread; with a pocket full of scratch and a girl like that, he’s probably shouting, "**Ain't we got fun?**" I snap the shutter, capturing the silhouette of a generation relying on this new **insulin** to keep them alive and the rhythm of the jazz age to keep them dancing.
