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.

Is she yelling at you, Matt?
One time when I was walking with my camera in Harlem, I passed a playground and kids ran up to the fence and asked to have their pics taken. I was alarmed by the poses they struck, and just then a teacher came up and said I couldn’t take photos.
It was an awkward experience that I never asked for. lol
Well, I had to find something other than another subway picture…

I’ve been yelled at and verbally threatened so many times, that she would rate a .01 on the Richter scale of confrontations…
