I remember being so excited when I took this torn poster shot of Malcolm X. Wow, I was into something cool and cutting edge…Shortly thereafter I bought a copy Walker Evans American photographs and saw his “Minstrel Showbill” picture from 50 years earlier, and got bitchslapped back to reality…

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.
