Those young women were there for the same reason I was: to pay homage and snap a picture for posterity of the sign the city placed at the corner of 5th Avenue and 57th Street. Bill Cunningham was the New York Times's "roving fashion photographer" and this corner was one of his favorite spots for catching candid shots of NYC's fashionable women. His photos could be seen in the Sunday Times Style section every week. He will be missed! [To see more ABC shots, go here.] |

Slide show (maybe). Love those hats! (#12 of 17) And his lifestyle (the bicycle, worker’s jacket, khakis, and black sneakers [#16 of 17]). And his utter lack of venality.
ReplyDeleteI’m kind of hoping that in his last hours he had a dozen attending nurses like these.
ReplyDeleteA lovely way to honour someone who has meant a lot for a specific place in time.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice ABC-W-day / - week
