Watch my favorite NY Times Photograher, Bill Cunningham's slideshow here. He's just so insightful and silly. He has fun with photography while talking about social context, our culture, how fashion, location and many other elements play into a great photograph that tells a story. One picture would not have worked as wonderfully as this set does. Seeing 10 or more you really start to think about something as simple as walking off the curb. And, in my opinion, great art takes something simple and talks about so much more. Makes you think... I could talk for ages about Bill's slide show...In essence though-the whole idea to me, has a direct reference to the above Cartier-Bresson image.
