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. View all posts by Matt Weber

Very nice capture. Even though NYC was a way different way of life back then…I would change things back to 1985 in a heartbeat. I live in Manhattan and it’s like a whole different city and I don’t like it. The thrills are gone. We only have our memories of what NYC was truly about…..
Do you remember the exact street/cross streets where this photo was taken? I’d like to see the location now. Thanks.
