Ryan Weideman (born in 1941) is an North American photographer who, while driving a taxi in New York City, took photos of his passengers… He drove the taxi between1981 and 2016 and converted his unique and unusual photographs into a book he titled In My Taxi: New York After Hours, published in 1991. Additionally he also makes lithographic print-based art… I found the photographs brilliant and intriguing, reminding me of the New York of the early 80’s, the decadence, the glamour, but mostly the energy of life that one finds (or use to find) in New York between the hours of 5pm and 5am.

This is a thoughtful and evocative appreciation of Ryan Weideman’s work. You beautifully capture how his photographs feel less like documentation and more like a lived experience of New York’s nocturnal soul. The way you highlight the decadence, glamour, and raw energy of the early ’80s places his images in a vivid cultural moment, reminding us of a city alive with intensity between dusk and dawn. It’s a compelling reflection that honors both the uniqueness of his perspective and the era he so powerfully preserved.
