Black and White Street Photographs of New York City by Matt Weber

Author: Matt Weber

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.

“Unthinkable Sex” Times Sq. 1987

I kinda wish I had burned a few rolls of Kodachrome down around these old theaters, but this all I got.

 

I could always “Colorize” these pictures like Ted Turner did with Casablanca…

“Umbrelli” 2011

I often find myself half joking when I offer one of my images for sale, but I think this one might look good enough hanging on a wall somewhere, to  have a chance at finding a new home…

When I think of the several dozen people I grew up with who are no longer, I guess this getting old stuff ain’t so bad…
