Mike-tyson-times-sq-matt-weberWe all wish we had taken certain pictures from a different POV. It was the last day of 1986 and I was driving a fare south through Times Sq. Maybe if I had my other camera, I could’ve done it another way. In a world with five billion people, what were the odds of seeing the baddest man on the whole planet cross the street while waiting for the light to change? Maybe I could have used my elbow as I focused my 6×7 to lay on the horn and get his attention. Oh well this all I have…

  1. I lived in NYC all thru the 80’s. Regrettably, I had little interest in picking up a camera in those days, so your images bring me back to that time and place..the best ten years of my life.
