Most of the 1990s were pretty lame years for me photographically. I struggled to take any images which made me feel like I was on a path that would lead anywhere. I was still shooting with a 50mm lens and thus I was always slightly detached from my subjects. Sometimes you have to really get stuck in order to move at all. I don’t know if you’ve ever had a bad stretch that seemed to last forever, but for me it was like “writer’s block” with a camera…

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.

  1. Man, The clarity, the mood. So nice. Captures the feel of the upper west side on a rainy day with a chrystaline clarity. Love this shot.
