Holy Cow...!!
I really admire the professional lives that some of these people had.
Anybody know his family history.?
Bills Neighbor/Friend made a living shooting all kinds of Celebrities/Movie Stars.! Like minds I suppose.....
Funny...those girls on the street said something like.....Take our picture and we'll break your fucking camera. If they had known who he was, they would have lined up for him.
He had a long and interesting career.
I'll Be Your Mirror.......
saw bilill cunningham ny on netflix - it was excellent... i think it's only available by dvd now - it was very good. put some "flesh on the bones" behind his pictures in the ny times.
Ted Forbes pays his respects below.
I love Bills work, but ironically, i have almost no interest in it. I am a very "Blue-Collar" kind of guy...jeans, white T-Shirt, flannel long sleeve if it gets cold.
But i am enthralled by Bills photo work...partly because he was such a nice guy, and HE actually lived a very blue-collar life himself.
