I passed this store in Spanish Harlem plenty of times before I decided to photograph it. I wonder how many times some poor store owner closed those squeaky gates, hoping to keep the local scoundrels from breaking in and making off with his wares…

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.
