Master of street fashion photography dies

Legendary New York Times fashion photographer Bill Cunningham died Saturday, according to the paper where he worked for nearly 40 years. He was 87. Cunningham, whose watchful eye brought images of New Yorkers - from the well-heeled to unsuspecting trend-setters - to the public, had been hospitalised recently after a stroke, the Times reported.
Credited with creating the genre of street fashion photography, Cunningham held a passion for capturing a subject or trend's look, whatever it may be. He was, as the Times called him, an "unlikely cultural anthropologist."
