From the day
Perspective: The Street Photographer · Tactile
The damp concrete under my boots rivals the grit of these new denim skinny jeans, which feel stiff against my skin as I crouch for the perfect shot of a kid clutching a fuzzy, plastic-wheeled Zhu Zhu Pet. Sunlight glints off a glossy *17 Again* poster plastered over a brick wall, where the air smells of cheap cologne and the metallic tang of the nearby subway. I check my digital display, realizing I can instantly sharpen the contrast of a passerby’s polyester hoodie; honestly, there’s an app for that now, making my heavy glass lens feel like a relic. The city hums with a restless, digital energy, vibrating through the soles of my feet.
