Well, if I’ve taken any pictures more picturesque or “postcardesque” lately, I’m unaware of them. This is one of those pictures which we could take back into the film vs. digital debate. I’d say the quality of film is fairly obvious, and you might reply that you could sample my grain and import it into your own image. That would almost be as lame as a rapper who can’t sing or play any instruments, sampling some Led Zeppelin (Who stole plenty of riffs and licks from other bands) and importing it into his song…

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. Ain’t nothing like the real thing baby! There is no debate, film and digital are different, let them be what they are and appreciate the differences.

  2. I like it.

    Rather than the film/digital debate, I like the photo among other things because it obeys a classic rule of painting derived out of what is hard-wired into our brains, namely – offset a big dark thing with a small light-colored thing.
