This Taxi Driver Spent 20 Years Photographing His Passengers In NYC Starting 30 Years Ago
The back seat of a cab in New York - his was, for Ryan Weideman, a “photographic studio” for decades.
When Ryan Weideman arrived at New York in 1980, he was full of dreams. He immediately realized how difficult it was to start a life of a photographer and began to worry about paying his bills and rent.
Inspired by his neighbor who was a taxi driver, Ryan embraced the idea of becoming one and uniting his work with a passion for photography.

From the straight edge X on her hand I'd say between 1986 and 1989.

I hate people who put their shoes on the seat, they could have walked in dog s**t or whatever, and then the next person has to sit on it
Lmao that's not the point. Aslo I'm sure driver asked her to pose like that.

Love the restraint, the composition, everything about this photo is beautiful!
Her gaze is so intense, I feel like she could tell me many interesting stories
The kid closest to the camera looks like a young Adam Horowitz (Ad-Rock from Beastie Boys)
My old friend Michael Roman from back in the eighties, great Mexican American artist...
Love this project. A joy for all people watchers. Life is so diverse and interesting and you wonder what each of these people are doing today and what their story is.
True artistry, capturing everyday life in such a unique way, with such unique subjects! Glad it was all B&W, colour would have ruined it, B&W gave it that edgy feel.

Great gallery of people's faces. All are so different and in the same time they are all humans in movement.
