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.

This one is special. I love the girl – clearly the icecream man is equally enamoured by her. Do you mind sharing if you shoot film? How do you get this tone in your shots? I am a street photographer from Mumbai. I would appreciate if you could visit and leave feedback too. Your work is a great inspiration to me.
Thanks Mayank! I shoot TRI-x and I decided to use a little sepia toning in Photoshop just so the woman would pop out a bit. The sepia looks a lot like her actually color and it works OK
in this picture. It still looks fine in straight B&W but I see no reason not to do a little fooling around since the rest of the world is now embracing HDR which is usually used much too heavily…
No cropped feet & the little sepia toning makes this an amazing photograph, Matt! And it helps to not get lost in between all the ads. All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

The sepia is a bit of a gimmick but I’m just trying different things and as usual I appreciate your comments!
