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
Black and White Street Photographs of New York City by Matt Weber
I know it’s a cliche, but I’m always disappointed when I see photos of NYC at night with no people or crowds. It’s supposed to be the city that never sleeps. And my mind, Times Square was hoppin’ at 4 a.m. in the 1960s-1980s. Never made it to NYC until until June of 2001, but when I visit now and walk down 42nd Street, it makes photos like this one all the more amazing/surreal to me. It was literally an entirely different world.
I know what you mean…It may have been a windy Tuesday night and 25º that night…
