Somewhere on W. 34th Street in Manhattan

Next time you're in a cab in New York City, take pictures out the cap window. Some people will wonder what you're looking at, but to them, they are just living their lives. In fact, you will remember them longer than they will remember you. It's especially fun on a cold windy day when the wind chill freezes your socks off, like this one was, and you can shoot from the warmth of a taxi. Some people will notice you, like this lady did, and others will not, but either way there is all kinds of communication going on.

It's the gesture in the image that's important. It's just one of those key elements that many photographers ignore, but it's the one that makes you look deeper and longer at the picture.

Thank you folks whoever you are for giving me that extra character dimension.
