Life Behind the Lens①
A white-haired② old man riding an ordinary bicycle around the streets of New York,always wearing the same blue worker's jacket and simple black running shoes.If you saw him,you'd never think there was anything remarkable③ about him.[1]And yet④ every member of New York's wealthy high society wanted nothing more than⑤ to pose for⑥ this man.
[1]本句中If引导条件状语从句,主句中think后跟一个宾语从句,省略了连接词that。
This ordinary-looking⑦ man was Bill Cunningham,one of the most important American photographers of the last 50 years.
What made Cunningham so great?It certainly wasn't the use of expensive,technologically-advanced⑧equipment.Cunningham always used simple,relatively⑨cheap cameras and took all his pictures on the streets of New York,not in a studio.Nor was it a wide range of⑩ contacts⑪ and connections.[2]Although he always knew where fashionable⑫ parties and events were happening,Cunningham liked to photograph⑬ ordinary people in the poor Bronx as much as⑭VIPs in rich Manhattan.[3] He found inspiration⑮ where others could not,in simple,everyday scenes,such as a man buying oranges at the local grocery store,or a woman riding home on the graffiti-covered subway.These things were real,and it was within their reality that Cunningham saw both beauty and potential⑯.[4]Through his fascination⑰ with what people were wearing,and not who they were,he opened the doors of fashion to everyone-fashion as he saw it belonged to the people,not just to high society and big brands.[5]

Moreover,what made Cunningham great was his devotion⑱ to photography,and the hours and hours of sheer hard work he put into⑲ his work.[6]Cunningham would go out onto the streets of New York each and every day,regardless of the weather.He would even stay outside in a storm,not coming back until he knew he had the right photos.[7] He hardly ever took a day off⑳and not once㉑ stayed home sick.This devotion and hard work is what we see reflected㉒within his photos.This is what makes them so special.[8]
[6]what引导主语从句;and连接并列的表语;he put into his work为省略了关系代词的定语从句,修饰先行词the hours and hours of sheer hard work。

Although he was a world-famous fashion photographer,Cunningham's approach to ㉓ life was uncomplicated㉔.He lived in a small apartment with a shared washroom.A simple restaurant was where he usually had the same meal of sausages,eggs and coffee.
Cunningham never accepted the benefits㉕ offered to him for being a fashion photographer.He valued his integrity㉖ and would not be bought by anyone,no matter how many free clothes or flights to faraway destinations㉗ he was offered.[9] And if he went to a celebrity party,he was there to work rather than㉘ have fun㉙.“Money's the cheapest thing,” he once said,then added:“...freedom is the most expensive.” This lack of self-interest and promotion kept Cunningham focused on㉚his craft㉛,enabling him to capture㉜New York's unique street style.[10]
[9]本句为主从复合句。no matter how引导让步状语从句;and连接并列谓语;he was offered为定语从句,修饰先行词faraway destinations。

Cunningham's passion㉝for photography lasted throughout his life.He was 87 when he passed away,and had been working right up until his last illness.Nothing ever stopped him from getting the photo he wanted.His hard work made him more than㉞a fashion photographer-he was a “cultural anthropologist”,who we can thank for recording the life of a whole city and its people over half a century.Bill Cunningham was an observer,and not one of the observed,a worker not a star-and this was how he wanted it.

镜头背后的人生
一位白发老人总是穿着一件蓝色工装夹克和一双样式简单的黑色跑鞋,骑着一辆普通的自行车在纽约街头穿梭。如果你看到他,你不会觉得他有任何引人注目的地方。然而,纽约富裕的上流社会中每一个人都想着对他摆姿势。
这位看起来普普通通的人就是比尔·坎宁安,美国近五十年来最重要的摄影师之一。
是什么使得坎宁安享有如此盛誉?当然不是因为他使用了昂贵的、技术先进的设备。坎宁安总是使用简单、相对便宜的相机,他所有照片的拍摄地都是纽约的街道,而不是摄影棚。也不是因为他交友广泛,识人无数。虽然他总是知道时尚聚会和大型活动举办的地点,但无论是对于在贫穷的布朗克斯拍摄普通人,还是在富裕的曼哈顿拍摄贵宾,他都同样喜欢。他能在一些简单的日常场景中得到其他人无法得到的灵感,比如一个在当地超级市场买橘子的男人,或是一个乘坐画满涂鸦的地铁回家的女人。这些东西是真实的,在这种真实中,坎宁安看到了美好和潜力。由于他对人们的穿着而不是身份感兴趣,他向每个人打开了时尚之门。在他看来,时尚属于民众,而不仅仅属于上流社会和大品牌。
此外,坎宁安的伟大之处还在于他对摄影的奉献精神,以及他在工作中投入的大量时间和精力。不管天气如何,坎宁安每天都会走上纽约的街头。甚至在暴风雨时,他也会待在外面,直到他认为自己已经拍摄到满意的照片才回家。他几乎从未休过一天假,也从未因病待在家中。我们可以从他的照片中看到这种奉献和努力。这就是使得这些照片如此与众不同的原因。
虽然坎宁安是一位世界著名的时尚摄影师,但他的生活方式却并不复杂。他住在一间与其他人共用浴室的小公寓里。他经常到一家简单的餐馆吃同样的食物,有香肠、鸡蛋和咖啡。
作为时尚摄影师,坎宁安从未接受过这个职业带给他的好处。他珍视自己的诚实正直,不为任何人所动摇,无论提供给他多少免费衣物或远程航班。而且如果他去参加名人聚会,他是去工作而不是玩乐。“钱是最不值钱的东西,”他曾说,然后又补充道“……自由是最昂贵的。”对自身利益和升迁毫不关注,这使坎宁安能够专注于自己的技能,捕捉到纽约独特的街头风格。
坎宁安对摄影的热爱贯穿他的一生。他在87岁时与世长辞,一直到最后生病前他都在工作。没有什么能阻挡他拍到想要的照片。他的辛勤工作使他不仅是一名时尚摄影师——他更是一位“文化人类学家”,我们感谢他记录了整个城市及其人民长达半个世纪的生活。比尔·坎宁安是一位观察者,而不是一位被观察者,是一名劳动者而不是一个明星——而这正是他想要的。
