I’ve only “known” the great photographer Bill Cunningham (1929 – 2016) for a few days from watching the documentary “Bill Cunning New York”. From this one documentary alone and the testimonies from many people in the doc, I believe his visual contributions and the examples he set (ethics as a reporter and his work over the years) has taught me personally a lot. See also NYT “Bill on Bill” and also “The Picture Subjects Talk Back”.
I am delighted to add Bill to my list of Great minds of our time along the likes of Richard Feynman, Ronald Coase & Steve Cheung, Bill Buxton, and Warren Buffett.
Have a watch of “Bill Cunning New York” and you will see why. The film is on Netflex (US), iTune, Amazon, and on DVD. Here is the Bill Cunningham New York Trailer
