From the day
Perspective: The Street Photographer · Sight
Rain-slicked asphalt reflects the neon blues of the cinema marquee, where teenagers in oversized flannel and combat boots huddle to see that new slasher flick. I frame a shot of a girl digging through her backpack, her face illuminated by the frantic, digital beeping of a Tamagotchi demanding to be fed. She rolls her eyes at the plastic egg, muttering a quick "whatever" before shoving it back into her pocket next to her yellow Walkman. The air smells of wet wool and cheap gasoline, a gritty contrast to the polished silhouettes of the new hybrids beginning to quiet the city streets.
