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.

Love this photo! Beautifully realized. Yes, “life before Giuliani” was somewhat different.
So jealous we are very much back to scoohl I spend every day that scoohl is closed trying to show my kids the world outside of scoohl. Every year it gets harder and harder to send them back to the box. They are learning math I could never imagine doing, they dont learn spelling like I remember, and Boy, can my kids take a test! Every day I go to work and load my bus up with children and while I adore my job and the kids, I am losing faith in education as we know it. What type of world are we really preparing them for? Jobs are outsourced and college degrees mean less and less..So to all of you who are brave enough and courageous enough to NOT go back to scoohl, I raise a toast! (organic green tea with honey I promise!) Know that there are some of us who wish we could do what you do.. and are working on trying to follow in your footsteps!
Life in New York before Giuliani was different to say the least…

Great shot!!! And great document!!! I like this series of “old” shots (but still actual).
