Yes, he goes and goes! Always look forward to his section in the Sunday NYT! Love the hat and boots in this picture, btw. Even though the Proenza Schouler boys threatened to make duck boots a trend, it didn’t quite catch on and they remain a classic. Living in South Florida, I can’t really wear them (too hot and storm water gets much much higher than ankle height, hello flip-flops and dock shoes!) but they look great on him. The hat has that lovingly-worn quality, and it fits his head just so. Jorge from W Palm Beach

Now that’s trendy – workwear for work!

best outfit out of the 3 pictures you’ve posted today.

He’s so focused…Bill Cunningham is awesome!

Ignoring his camera and his facial expression though, that puddle and his stance don’t go well together, or maybe just a little too well…and I blame that thought on your caption.

I’ve been wanting a pair of those shoes. They’d be perfect for rainy Pacific Northwest days at the dog beach. :)

That’ll be you one day, Sart…

It is a very lovely shot!

Love him! Is that his bike in the background? I was going to ask again when you were publishing a book of your photos, but I will add, where is one of his incredible work? The NYTimes should put out some giant tome of the best of the Sunday fashion trend pix. Oh yes, more older gent (and lady) photos please, Sart! Merci.

wow, that’s an amazing capture of him!

thanks!

Great photo, Scott. I love everything going on here. LL Bean duck boots, khakis, tweed cap, and short hair: what more could a chap want?

I heart Bill Cunningham.

Love the shot. The posture and the mouth-grab are so youthful.
Fierceness and energy in pure state

You could give your forefather a little more props than “he just goes and goes”… Where’s the respect??
Would you even be doing this without his pioneering ways?

Bill Cunningham is one-of-a-kind. I always look forward to his Sunday street fashion column. Have you and he ever talked or do you just acknowledge each other when your paths cross?

Bill is the best

Duck-Boots are simply phantastic! Has anybody ever seen a woman wearing them, though? Difficult, I’d say…

Seeing HIM out on the street is nice for a change. He’s got such a good spirit and warmth. I really dig his column (the multi-media one on-line). He always sounds so enthusiastic about the most simple things. He’s absolutely lovely.

Good shoot, Sart.

Wow! The man in action. Bill Cunningham is my go-to for street fashion (after the sartorialist, of course). I love to hear his comments-he always seems so tickled!

what is he clicking ???
I’m curious….

One if the nicest, humblest, knowledgeable men you will ever meet.

No digital for Bill yet. I’ve only seen him shooting old nikons.

Sart, what a lovely portrait of a lovely man.

For those who don't know: Bill has been covering the street & fashion scene for years. (Sart's gallerist had a gem of a profile of Bill on his A year in pictures blog.)

The New York Times now has a Sunday web feature with Bill's slideshow on a theme he's been pondering. Bill narrates it. His voice! I start looking for the feature days before Sunday.

I remember him taking my picture in the 8o’s in the greenwich village and I screamed when the flash went off..I thought I had been shot with a gun…lol…he laughed and said I think you look great and wanted to take a picture..what can I say I was new to NY from ohio…back then it didnt take much to freak me out..lol

He is iconic, so modest and polite. A true gentleman and master photographer. Luv you, Bill!

Ha! if it wasn’t for the camera it would look like he’s verrry crossed at something and he’s biting his own outfit in irritation :D

I love him and his reportages for IHT…AMAZING BILL.

MIKI

Ha! what are you two doing outside my storage unit?

you are the continuation of bill’s work. i’ve seen you both working your tails off all over town this week! bill gets his prints done in my building and i always silently relish riding the elevator with him… i do miss his blue coat here though!

This guy is the best! I admire his attitude and work. It is funny cause I didn’t know much about the man..and now I see his name all over the place.

Good shtuff :D

Don’t you envy his 100% in-the-moment concentration?

As for duck shoes – I wear mine with bright pink and yellow socks that I knit for myself. If the reaction from strangers is to be judged, this is very entertaining.

i was lucky enough to be introduced to this man at fashion week. his stories are so whimsical

I love all of his NYT photos/articles! I would so love to me him!

He is a true inspiration for fashion followers. When you have a real passion in life you have an endless drive!
