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.

Great shot from Long Island City. Matt, we really enjoy your photos. You really have a way of capturing the city in ways not too many others can.
Rockrose, Thanks for the kind words! The next time your company is about to raise an old building, see if you can preserve the facade or anything rather than do a total demo on it.
If only developers would leave a little of the old behind the future wouldn’t be so devoid of craftsmanship…A little compromise would be a classy thing to do, even if the “numbers”
say otherwise…
