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.

Black and White Street Photographs of New York City by Matt Weber 
Wow! I can’t think of a better title for this photo, Matt. You definitely captured a definitive moment. Would love to have seen the 1960-90s version of Times Square just so I would have something to compare it to today. When I visit NYC these days, I try to avoid Times Square at all costs simply because it’s overrun with tourists! (In total denial that I’m one myself of course.)
Greg, the film is called: “Doin’ Time In Times Square” circa 1991 by Charlie Ahearn…Its available on Amazon or it was….Really intense!
Greg, There’s a short film and I can’t recall the name but when I do, I’ll let you know. The guy lived on 43d and 8th Ave and he shot videos of the hookers & pimps fighting in the street beneath his window. It is a raw view of how bad thing were 25 years ago…I looked for it and couldn’t find it.
Thanks for the tip, Matt! The fact that a native New Yorker is calling the documentary “really intense” has me a little concerned, but I’m curious enough that I’ll probably check it out. Thanks again!
