Instead of only shooting the flow of evening traffic here on Fifth Avenue, which is full of color and energy, I focus instead on five people trying to hail taxis, and use the colorful traffic flow as my context. The resulting image is full of energy yet also frustration, because it appears that all of the taxis that are approaching have their roof lights off, which means they either full or off duty and are not going to stop for any of these people. The body language here suggests patience and resignation – only one of the five people can make the effort to raise an arm to hail a taxi, and that’s the man at right whose arm is half-heartedly upright in mock salute.
