30 years of the characters in times square

My digital library has over 65,000 photos on it I edited those out of a quarter of 1 million that’s the 30 years I spent in New York City photographing street people, parties, events, and soirées Some people say that’s the largest website out there with that many photos from one artist, I haven’t met anybody yet to match my numbers or my crazy stories, thousands of my photos are little memory chips for me like this photo right here I would stand on the corner of eighth Avenue and 42nd St. one of my favorite spots sometimes standing there for 2 or 3 hours, I would see this person around from time to time didn’t know if it was a man or a woman I knew they knew I was there and I knew they were there one time I noticed This person kept on walking from corner to corner all four corners for over an hour I had to take the shot I wanted to do it so they wouldn’t see me I was caught an the persons in the long black leather jacket hat and glasses just stood there and stared at me like Darth Vader, I stood my ground I didn’t wanna walk away I didn’t stare at them the way they were staring at me I just kept on taking pictures using my peripheral vision to make sure they didn’t shoot me or something this went on for 20 minutes, Throughout the years I would run into this person one time I gave them a card and they said thanks I have met hundreds and hundreds of people in the streets of New York that just walk around there’s lots of them I think I was one of the few photographers who had balls enough to photograph them maybe 50 years from now somebody will be discovered I think I was one of the few photographers who had balls enough to photograph them maybe 50 years from now somebody will be discovered In my collection
