Bill Cunningham's New York



I finally watched the Bill Cunningham documentary over the weekend. I know, I know. I'm always about 90 steps behind the times. It's just as good as everyone says. I'm talking tears into a pillow good. Not sad, you know, but heartwarming and deeply sweet. My favorite line from the movie:

"It's not photography. I mean, any real photographer would say 'he's a fraud.' Well, they're right. I'm just about capturing what I see and documenting what I see." - Bill Cunningham

I think the most interesting folks out there are those who don't quite realize the genius that lives within them.
