Bill Cunningham, arguably the best street photographer of our time, chronicled fashion and high society for The New York Times for nearly 40 years. Anyone walking around midtown Manhattan in the vicinity of 5th Avenue and 57th Street might have spotted him on his bicycle, camera around his neck, snapping the famous, the not-famous, and the unexpectedly fabulous. Even if you weren't particularly interested in fashion (me) or fashionistas (also me), if you were a faithful New York Times reader (me again), you read Bill Cunningham and marveled at his elegant photo essays. I posted in 2014 about a documentary -- Bill Cunningham New York -- and a book of his photographs that celebrate the artist and his extraordinary life and talent. Now you can build your own Bill as a jigsaw puzzle, too. It's shaped like a bicycle and, though it's only 750 pieces, it's far more challenging than you'd imagine.
