From the day
Perspective: The Street Photographer · Sound
The heavy clatter of a passing checker cab drowns out David Coverdale’s howl from a storefront boombox, but I’m still humming along to *Here I Go Again* as I frame a shot of a stockbroker in a razor-sharp charcoal suit. He’s looking fly, darting past a newsstand shouting about the Sotheby’s stake while the scent of honey-roasted peanuts cuts through the humid Midtown exhaust. I click the shutter just as a woman in shoulder pads nearly trips over a kid playing with Jenga blocks on the sidewalk. The city screams with the frantic energy of a Wednesday morning, vibrating with the high-pitched hiss of bus brakes and the relentless rhythm of the street.
