NYC in all its black-and-white glory, yesterday and today


I opened up the 20th anniversary issue of the New York Press this morning. And the photo on Page 4 got my attention. It's a shot of a cab in a snowy Times Square circa 1988. The photographer is Matt Weber. The caption included his Web address. My day job has sapped any creativity that I may have had this week. So I'll just lamely say wow.

He also has a flickr stream, where I found the above photo. Too many to choose from to help illustrate this post and his work.

    Thanks for the comment, Jeremiah. I keep looking at some of Matt's different collections. I swear every photo is as compelling as the next.
