I woke up to some sad news today.  Bill Cunningham has died.

Bill Cunningham was a fashion photographer who revolutionized the industry by taking pictures of not just the rich and famous but also candid shots of everyday people on the streets of New York.  His life, philosophy, and work are the subjects of a documentary called Bill Cunningham New York, which is a must-see if you’re a photographer.

Here are a few of Bill Cunningham’s pictures:
