From the day
Perspective: The Street Photographer · Sight
The flashbulbs of my Nikon catch a blur of padded shoulders and feathered hair beneath a neon-drenched marquee advertising *Death Wish 3*. I squint through the viewfinder at a businessman clutching a thick briefcase, his face twitching as he passes a gas station sign displaying $1.12—a price that’s honestly enough to make me say, "gag me with a spoon." The hazy October air smells of exhaust and expensive cologne, illuminated by the flickering glare of a nearby shop window showcasing the brand-new Nintendo system. I pivot to capture a silhouette in a trench coat, their shadow stretching long against a brick wall plastered with headlines about corporate bids and billionaire takeovers.
