The New York Taxi Driver: Drive by Shooting, by David Bradford, 1999

After abandoning a career as an art director for Saks Fifth Ave, artist David Bradford decided he’d like to work as a taxi driver on the infamous NYC avenues and alleyways. For ten years he has done just that, and has had his camera–a Yashica T4 with a Zeiss lens–with him every day of the year. Several exhibitions and magazine spreads later, Bradford presents this monograph of his harsh and poetic ‘sketches’ of the Metropolis.
