It seemed that in the 2000s, photographers became fashionable. One example of this was that they began to appear more frequently in the Sunday New York Times "Evening Hours" page--photos of "bold-faced-named-people" out on the town. The photos were shot by Bill Cunningham, the Times street-fashion photographer, and you'd assume that he'd be acquainted with other photographers and would therefore photograph them at social events. But since he undoubtedly shoots many of these events a week, who appears on the page each week would be a function of the editors' choices. So the fact that more photographers would appear as "bold-faced names" would indicate a perception that they had become a more prominent part of the New York social scene.
