If you get the chance, go see "Bill Cunningham: New York". He's a very interesting guy. Which means, of course, so's the movie. Cunningham's life has been consumed by fashion, but the movie hasn't. The movie is about a man who found his reason for living early in life, and he's lived for it, night and day, ever since. Money doesn't motivate him. Fame - his or that of others - doesn't interest him. He takes pictures of people who show a sense of personal style. That's it.

Really. Go see it. You'll be impressed.

And, if you live in New York, watch for the old guy in the cheap blue jacket, riding a bicycle, wielding an old Nikon FM (I'm guessing). He probably won't take your picture, but wave anyway.

We'd tried to go see this movie when it was showing here, but it was sold out every day. We were so disappointed.
