Bill Cunningham New York



On the weekend I went to see Bill Cunningham New York. At first I didn't think it would be much to see.

I was very, very wrong. This movie is an absolute must see!
And I'm not just saying that - I actually walked away after the movie feeling different about life. Is that weird?

This movie is really a documentary on the life of Bill Cunningham.
In case you don't know who he is, Bill Cunningham is an 80+ year old man living in New York, working as a fashion photographer for the New York Times, specialising in street photography.

He hits the streets everyday getting around purely on his little bike, taking photos of stylish men and women. Whilst might I add, using a film camera still! Check out the trailer above to see more, because I really could go on and on about this amazing docco.


Bill Cunningham New York has limited screenings and is probably not on for much longer, so make sure you check it out!
If you do go and see the movie, comment and let me know what you think of it!



You can also see his work with the New York Times via the link below:
