Bill Cunningham (1929–2016)

“Money’s the cheapest thing. Liberty and freedom is the most expensive”: the photographer Bill Cunningham, as quoted in the New York Times obituary.

I like these related words from the great documentary Bill Cunningham New York (dir. Richard Press, 2011):

“You see, if you don’t take money, they can’t tell you what to do, kid. That’s the key to the whole thing. Don’t touch money: it’s the worst thing you can do.”
