From the day

Perspective: The Street Photographer · Sound

The flash from my Canon hits a girl in oversized sunglasses and layered chiffon, her Ugg boots scuffing the pavement as Carrie Underwood’s "Inside Your Heaven" blares from a passing SUV. I track a skater in skinny jeans weaving through the humid chaos of midday traffic, dodging a delivery truck that reeks of exhaust and pricey $2.27 fuel. A group of tourists huddle over a flip phone near a movie poster for *Batman Begins*, looking lost despite the new Google Maps everyone's buzzing about. The vibe near the subway entrance feels a bit sketchy today, so I keep my lens focused on the boho-chic silhouettes drifting through the summer haze.
