I know what people with a more formal attitude mean when they say they’re horrified by what they see on the street. But fashion is doing its job. It’s mirroring exactly our times. The main thing I love about street photography is that you find the answers you don’t see at the fashion shows. You find information for readers so they can visualize themselves. This was something I realized early on: If you just cover the designers in the shows, that’s only one facet. You also need the street and the evening hours. If you cover the three things, you have the full picture of what people are wearing.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2002/10/27/style/bill-on-bill.html?pagewanted=6&src=pm" target="_blank">Bill on Bill -
