From the day
Perspective: The Street Photographer · Tactile
The cold morning light catches the coarse wool of an oversized blazer as a kid struts past, looking incredibly fly with his collar popped against the biting February wind. My fingers ache from the frigid metal of my Leica, but I can’t help but stop to watch a group of teenagers hunched over a sidewalk table, their hands trembling as they pull smooth wooden blocks from a precarious Jenga tower. The city feels electric today, humming with the grit of a Monday morning and the static of a nearby radio blasting Bon Jovi into the slushy street. I pass a newsstand where the bold letters of **INSIDE** stare back at me from the rack, the crisp paper crinkling under the vendor’s heavy, leather-gloved thumb.
