This wonderful 1950s cab can be seen, if you're lucky, in New York City. It is usually on it's way to a wedding or being used in filmmaking.

I had been hoping to shoot it for at least 5 years. Occasionally I would see it- moving too fast, too far away or in bad weather. One day a few months ago I was waiting for a friend's arrival. I looked out my window & the cab was sitting right there with the engine running! In a panic, I grabbed my camera, sprinted outside in my slippers, scaring the dog and knocking down curtains. I got a few quick shots before it drove away!

Patience and luck paid off- it feels like a scene from old time New York. I used my hand painting technique to create graffiti and blue tones to make the buildings recede. This piece is one of my favorites and has become one of my biggest sellers.

Available in print and canvas.
