This is one of the first pictures of mine that I really love! A virtual time machine to a part of New York we all know pretty well…

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.

  1. Visiting NYC with my best friend in 1971, her father took us from Staten Island into NYC. I remember passing by the Metropole Go Go and looking in hearing the song, “Smiling Faces Sometimes” by the Undisputed Truth and seeing the ladies inside pole dancing. I was 18 and I’m now 65. Whenever I hear that song, and it isn’t often, I think of that day.
