Bill Cunningham’s job is not so different from a fisherman’s: it requires a keen knowledge, honed over years, of the local ecosystem and infinite patience in all manner of weather conditions. His first big catch was an accident

He wanted to find subjects, not be the subject. He wanted to observe, rather than be observed. Asceticism was a hallmark of his brand.

A Milwaukee Journal photographer for 25 years beginning in 1948, Ahlhauser left his secure newspaper job to move to Bloomington, IN, to teach at Indiana University’s School of Journalism while he worked on advanced degrees and while doing research into the future of newspapers and photography.
