From the day

Perspective: The Street Photographer · Sight

The afternoon sun glints off oversized hoodies and tie-dye sweats as the New York crowd pulses with the news of Bernie's Nevada landslide. I frame a shot of a skater dodging a newsstand, his baggy silhouette cutting a sharp line through the hazy winter light while "The Box" thumps from a passing car. In a store window, the new Star Wars: The Child animatronic tilts its head with a mechanical whir, its huge eyes reflecting the street’s frantic energy. That little green guy has more rizz than anyone on this block, no cap.
