Bill Cunningham, the o.g. Street Photographer

Our friends at Kempt turn us onto a great article in the International Herald Tribune, which was originally published by the NYT, on Bill Cunningham, arguably one of the original street style photographers of the last century and beyond. We have to love Mr. Cunningham’s approach to the whole thing. In his own words, “The problem is I’m not a good photographer. To be perfectly honest, I’m too shy. Not aggressive enough. Well, I’m not aggressive at all. I just loved to see wonderfully dressed women, and I still do. That’s all there is to it.”
A man who knows how to say it like it is. Read the great piece “Bill on Bill” at IHT.
