I saw this guy scraping the posters off of his newsstand and pulled over my taxi. I know the torn poster thing has been done for ages, but in 1987 I thought I was onto something new. Then I saw Walker Evans Minstrel Showbill photos taken 50 years earlier…Oh well.

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.
