Students from Syracuse’s Near West Side became interested in street photography after seeing the work of Bill Cunningham.
Bill Cunningham wasn’t the first to cover fashion, and he didn’t invent street photography–he just did them differently. He passed away yesterday at the age of 87. We showed a class of photography students the biopic of Cunningham a few years ago and they recognized his gifts and his cool.
