Photographing NYC for 25 years, six of them while driving a New York City taxi. Trying very hard to capture the city as life unfolds, meaning I never stage any of my photos! Also I am a close confidant of the immortal Dave Beckerman, (quintessential NYC photographer) and owner of the first photography blog in the known universe.

Interesting stuff… Seems we’re the same age. I had a friend down on the lower westside who would point out graffiti tags to me back in the day (early 70’s). His mark was “TUNA” a name given to him by a Jamaican who lived in the neighborhood. Supposedly because of his fair and very white complextion he earned the name Tunaman.
This gallery is a historic treasure!
