From the day
Perspective: The Street Photographer · Sound
The slush of mid-January grinds under the tires of idling taxis, syncopated by the bass of Toni Braxton’s voice bleeding out of every electronics shop on the block. I squint through my viewfinder, framing a businessman in a heavy wool coat who is scowling at a newsstand headline about calls for cuts in State Capitals. He’s clutching a briefcase in one hand and a beeping Tamagotchi in the other, a truly sweet contrast of corporate grit and digital plastic. The neon glow of a movie poster for *The Relic* reflects in the puddles, shimmering against the gray concrete as the city hums with the static of a new year.
