A man on a bicycle

Is there someone who has you completely awe-inspired by his/her humble spirit and kindness towards others that you just want to learn from them? 

My answer is yes.  Bill Cunningham.  His modesty and sincerity are such a rarity.  What he has brought to the industry is the perspective of style from the every-woman.  His pictures show the interpretation of trends from runway to street.  He's not interested in clothing that will only work on a model - his interest lies in how women of individual size and figure can create the look.

In 2008 he was awarded Officier de l'ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture.  His acceptance speech was simple and true:

"It's as true today as it ever was.  He who seeks beauty will find it."
