For 50 years, Bill Cunningham has shot candid street photographs for the Fashion section of the New York Times. At 81, the hardest working reporter in New York is now the focus of a new 88 minute feature film documentary, "Bill Cunningham New York". This trailblazer documents more than just fashion, he captures the sentiment of a people and their beloved city. “I let the street speak to me. You’ve got to stay on the street and let the street tell you what it is.” A Harvard dropout, and Korean war veteran, this American hero holds 50 years of photographic history in the greatest city in the world. Check out the whole story surrounding this New York legend and his new film "here". Also, you can still see his work every week in his fashion section for the New York Times entitled "On The Street".
