I'm guessing thats good? lol

Thanks for all the positive comments.

Soon I will shoot the same cab during the day, and maybe try a different back ground for the night shots. The owner and I already agreed on going to Times Square. Hopefully there aren't too many cars so I can run out, set the camera and tripod and start flashing the car. lol

Great set! #3 wins it for me.

The Time Square shoot could be really neat. Looking forward to seeing it!

The cops come often to that location to hide from their bosses and to see if there isnt anything illegal going on there like drinking or drugs. Once they drove up the male cop was excited to see a 1970s checker cab, but the female wasnt impressed. lol. I asked the cop to park his car next to the cab for a few photos. I took my shots, they took shots with their phones, texted a little and left. lol

Nice to hear a positive encounter with law enforcement once in a while. :)

The driver told me they fit 8 people including the driver. 3 in the front, 3 in the back and you have two more seats that slide out from under the front seat.
