Bill Cunningham

The problem is I'm not a good photographer. To be perfectly honest, I'm too shy. Not aggressive enough. Well, I'm not aggressive at all. I just loved to see wonderfully dressed women, and I still do. That's all there is to it.

There's nothing free. Stay independent and don't fall.

My family all thought I was a little nuts.

I go to different places all the time. And I try to be as discreet as I can. My whole thing is to be invisible. You get more natural pictures that way, too.

Legacy? I'm a worker in the factory; all we care about is today! A legacy... what a bunch of baloney.

Everybody else does work - I have too much fun.

When I'm photographing, I look for the personal style with which something is worn - sometimes even how an umbrella is carried or how a coat is held closed.
