This is the type of picture I hope for. I get a leading lady and her co-star, with a solid supporting cast. This doesn’t happen often. Now you know why I gave up all the glamour of driving a cab…

42d Street 1988
Anyone who was in New York back in the ’80s should remember the “Guardian Angels” They rode the subways and congregated around 42d Street and other places where they felt they were needed. Their leader Curtis Sliwa became a talk radio guy for the conservatives.
Oh well…

Coney Island 2010
After a long day at the beach, these little men have their memories, and I have a last minute snapshot to cap off a nice summer day…

Subway Coney Island 2010
The holiday season is happy for some and lonely for others. This was the best picture I could come up with which describes both these emotions…

Coney Island 2010
When I start to grumble about young guys not being able to keep their trousers on, I just have to think back to my own youth, and how the previous generation made fun of our long hair…
What comes around, goes around.

Montauk N.Y. 2010
I have plenty of pictures of a more urban and “streetish” variety, but instead I’ve been hitting my favorite folder for the past few days…She constantly yells “Stop wasting film daddy!’ I just can’t help it…

“The North Atlantic” 2010
It almost looks like she’s about to go over the edge of Niagara Falls, but of course photos lie. The water’s only two or three feet deep and I’d never let anything happen to her…

“The Last Corner” 2010
It really is astonishing that this corner has survived for so many years, untouched…I have photos of this same corner in 1970 and it’s exactly the same. On the upper west side, nothing lasts this long…

Montauk 2010
I was in Montauk as a small boy back in 1962 and it was just a small fishing town. Now I don’t care what people do as they travel, but can’t they just enjoy their vacations without constantly checking their emails or text messages? They just can’t…

It’s odd that I have so few pictures of this very common gesture…

“The Balloon Boy” 2009
The balloon boy was the kid who we thought was in a runaway balloon dying from a lack of oxygen as the balloon soared for hours high above Colorado. The kid named Falcon was never on the balloon, but millions of Americans were mesmerized by his seemingly tragic plight.
Recently America focused on a witch who was running for the senate. I know several guys who actually watch wrestling on TV. If the so called news shows aren’t feeding us drivel, then the people will find things so useless it’s totally mindboggling. How about TV shows where you have to guess who’s gonna rat out his friend first. Or American Idol, where Americans watch some pompous ass from England make aspiring singers cry…
I know that the football games I have been watching for my whole life are considered totally useless by some people, so I guess I shouldn’t be complaining…
