I like cropping a few of my pictures to the point where I’m using the equivalent of a single frame of Super-8 film…

This stoop was located in midtown somewhere between 1st and 3d Ave. I assume the building was around 100 years old and the tree maybe took root a few years later. I’ve seen trees grow through and around metal fences plenty of times, but this was the most incredible example. I doubt it’s still there, but I haven’t checked in a long time…

One in 5,000,000,000 Times Sq. 12/31/86

We 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…
