From the day
Perspective: The Street Photographer · Tactile
The damp heat of September clings to the spandex leggings and oversized sweatshirts of the crowds rushing past my Leica. A kid on the subway steps is obsessively clicking his Transformers toy from a truck into a robot, the sharp, jagged plastic edges catching the late afternoon light as he ignores his mother. The scene feels almost too vivid, bordering on cheesy with all those neon headbands flashing against the grit of the city. I adjust my focus on a girl in thick, knit leg warmers, capturing the way the rough wool textures contrast against the sleek, metallic sheen of the passing cars.
