As I go through my archives it’s important to still take some new pictures…

“This Bud’s For You” 1990
I keep putting off the posting of many of the pictures I took on September 11th…Maybe I’m trying to delay explaining in detail, what happened to my daughter. I know that the images will make most people sad, but since I started to post some from the days after the 11th, shouldn’t I just keep going? I also have to contain myself from going on and on about how much I despise organized religion. The psychos on the planes that day, propelled the religious right in America to make one terrible decision after another. Since what I have to say matters very little, I’ll just try and keep it to myself…

Coney Island 2008
The owner of Nathan’s knows that white girls and black girls often have words for each other. Therefore he usually has an all white staff or an all black one, on any given afternoon at Coney Island. I guess it makes sense…

NYC 2009
It took awhile, but this image has grown on me. I don’t want to post crap on this site. I don’t want to post crap on flickr. Lately there’s been a lot of talk about how the sheer number of photographs being taken and shared, has diluted their worth or significance. When you consider the success rate for street photography, the problem is multiplied a hundred times!

NYC 2007
A mentor of mine said that he thought that some of my “smaller” moments made better pictures. I tend to look for “big” exciting moments cause I like them, but I should probably should be looking to shoot more quiet pictures as well…

“Snowbird” NYC 2000
I finally was able to make a decent scan of this image. So many negatives waiting in queue patiently…

“September 25th 2001”
This is a picture of my daughter when she was born about 8 1/2 years ago. I am not quite sure that my daughter likes this photograph, but I’m posting it anyway.

“DAMAGED” 2008
I didn’t realize that I had so many bus related images, but I’ve just about run out of them. I don’t need to mention to anyone who knows me, what Walker Evans has meant to me as an inspiration. He just shot everything that I’d like to think I would have tried to, if I’d been born fifty years earlier…

Madison Ave. 2008
I spent a summer on the upper east side and I actually took the bus a few times. I wonder if you can still tell the difference between the women who grew up on the east side and those from the west side. It use to be pretty obvious back in the 1970’s…

“Running to catch the bus” 2007
I use to sit on my stoop and watch my neighbors run to catch the crosstown bus which left every five minutes. I know I’ve said this too many times, but not being one of these clock punching workers is one of the things I am very grateful for…

Hey, If I had more of these I’d keep posting them all day long…

Avenue of the Americas 1986
This is sort of a bonus image since I just scanned it the other day, 24 years after having taken it! Combing old negatives will hopefully provide many more interesting images down the road…
“Hope Springs Eternal” 2009
One year ago I started shooting color on the street for the first time in over twenty years. This is maybe the first picture I took which I liked. The first few days of spring are so uplifting. Flowers bloom, women shed their coats and almost anything seems possible…
