This guy is one of the many reasons I came to New York. Bill Cunningham. If you don't know who he is google him. He's the eye on the street in NY. I was so excited when the documentary about him, Bill Cunningham New York, came out in New Zealand. If you're an avid film watcher in NZ you will know that we hardly ever get any films that aren't 'mainstream' (I'm not a mainstream hater but I like my variety). Almost ran off on a tangent, sorry about that. Anyway for what ever reason (probably study toward that economics degree) I didn't get to see it. But thanks to the powers of the internet I was able to view it. Last count I've watched it five times. However, the best part is that now I can go up to 5th ave and watch him for myself. Sounds creepy right? It isn't I swear. In a way I'm studying, I'm learning. I get the feeling he's a pretty private person so I'd never bother him while he's working. He's an example of what it means to do what you love regardless of the money. Soppy I know, but true nonetheless.
And I'm Out.
Peace, Morgs
