Ethnic parade
Being a super multi ethnic city, New York must host countless ethnic parades. These images dating from August of 1985 are from the Dominican Day Parade. People had a lot of fun both as parade participants and as spectators. This is one more item that makes the Big Apple so special and so unique. It must be stated that being still at it's infancy, this parade went up 6th Avenue officially names Avenue of the Americans. No "real" New Yorker will ever call it that preferring the original name of 6th Avenue.

Neighbors
This examples of street photography dates from 1986 and was shot on Mulberry Street in the then thriving Manhattan's Little Italy. Now it's full of souvenir shops and mediocre restaurants that cater to tourists. There are practically no Italians left as China Town has expanded north of Canal street. All things change. What I like about the image are the hairdos. They thought that they were being so stylish and attractive. Go figure.

Candid portraits
In my years as a pro, I took many portraits. I usually preferred to capture people at their work doing their work. This made the shoot more natural. Very little lighting equipment was used and may times such as this one I used available light. As simple as possible but not more so. This woman was a social worker at an institution on Long Island, NY. After formal attempts, the simplest shot was the best.
