finding his only solace in bloody battle. Over the years he warmed to the
company of six similar souls, their only bond being their love of fighting and
presence of death. These men and women never question where they go to fight or
why or whom, just how much they will be paid. Now the King of Thrace has hired

far they have fallen when they must train an army to become as ruthless and

Fashion films: Bill Cunningham New York
Today, we'd like to talk about the following fashion film:
Bill Cunningham is a fashion photographer for The New York Times, known for his candid and street photography.
The “Bill” in question is 80+ New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham. For decades, this Schwinn-riding cultural anthropologist has been obsessively and inventively chronicling fashion trends and high society charity soirées for the Times Style section in his columns “On the Street” and “Evening Hours.” Documenting uptown fixtures (Anna Wintour, Tom Wolfe, Brooke Astor, David Rockefeller—who all appear in the film out of their love for Bill), downtown eccentrics and everyone in between, Cunningham’s enormous body of work is more reliable than any catwalk as an expression of time, place and individual flair. In turn, Bill Cunningham New York is a delicate, funny and often poignant portrait of a dedicated artist whose only wealth is his own humanity and unassuming grace.
