I have been a NY based photographer for 40 years and have cannot for the life of me see what the City would potentially kill the vehicle which enamors the public with NYC. Namely the film and still images which excite those who view them.

I have worked for 100’s of companies over the years within NYC. I was the Official Photographer for the Yankees and have worked with 5 Presidents, the Pope and the Dalai Llama.

My passion is in teaching photography and in doing so, I describe in images the beauty of NYC.

I am a member of the Professional Photographers of America and won “Photographer of the Year” this year. I am also a member of the American Society of Photographers, and receive the Educational Associate Award from then as well a the regional Gold Medallion. My images are in several Halls of Fame and been in many magazines.

I believe this is a counterproductive law and will hurt the City and stifle creatively.
