I am 58 years young, live in Johannesburg, South Africa and I'm a true product of my continent. I love the bush, the animals, sunshine, sunsets - oh well, anything to do with nature. I am unmarried and have three sons - 37, 33 and 30 respectively and three granddaugters aged 12, 6 and 4 respectively and obviously the light of my life! Photography has always been a passion and I have loved it since I can remember. I was still using a SLR camera and only switched to digital only in late 2007! My other passion is travel and I have been lucky enough to have travelled fairly widely. There are however still many, many places I would love to visit "one day." I am truly an amateur photographer and do it merely as a hobby. So please be gentle when you comment on my work. :-) Thank you Piet, my dear friend, for convincing me to place my work on Renderosity. You owe me one! Hugs, Carin xx

And I'll bet if you had to hail a cab, there wouldn't be one anywhere around!!

A super pic! Our cabs are yellow too!

52nd and Broadway please... So much to see! I like the selective desaturation, Clive
emmecielle
Very interesting capture! Excellent shot! :)

Very nice image ! Excellent capture !
MrsRatbag
Well spotted! What a great scene, they're much rarer around here, as you may remember! Of course, in New York it's impossible to drive anyway, so there have to be a lot of cabs...
babuci
Excelent selective coloring. How many was waiting behind them I bet a few more...lol.
goodoleboy
Something you'd never see in Los Angeles, Carin. Great shot, I like the repetition. Like horses or human sprinters at the starting gate.

That's New York for you! A lot of everything. I've seen long lines of cabs outside of hotels or sports areas, but never this many abreast before at the same intersection! And all Fords as well. I wonder if they were all in use or trolling for business? Great shot that really captures the vibe of big city America.

What a great capture! I know there are a lot of cabs in NYC, but I've never seen it myself. Way to take advantage of opportunity, girl! I'm SO looking forward to seeing your photographs of your trip.

Looks like they're ready for a race

Maybe I'm an oddball, but the first thing I noticed was "Flashdancers Gentlemens Club" and then I noticed the cabs. What's up with that? Eh, I'm just weird I guess. And as for this shot, It screams New York, although it does so elegantly. I love the selective coloring and the overall composition, and I'm really glad to see this. New York...I have yet to ever go there, and so it's good to see it from here. This is a marvelous shot!
costapanos
I agree with Chipka! That is the first thing I noticed as well. :) I love this shot!

Just waiting for the green light and the flag to drop and then you are in for the terrifying ride of your life! And here I thought you were shooting an image of a shrine to people like us, the camera shop across the street.
Myel
Excellent find! Obviously, I like the selective coloring too! M.
gemb1
Excellent shot and postwork. I like the comment of our times on the camera shop "fully digital"

Definitely novel in a county like mine but you should see Lima in Peru. Cars that aren't taxi's are in the minority there. You just have to look towards the road and half a dozen of them dive for the footpath in case you are looking for a cab.
debbielove
Yep, New York cabs! So used to them now.. Thought it was cool first time then I found out how much they charge! lol (I didn't use - I heard!) But a cool shot and it was a buzz seeing the famous yellow cabs.. Bangor cabs are big 4-wheel drive tanks, with V8 engines! Just in case! lol Fun! Fun! Fun! Good shot Carin... Rob
bmac62
Well, now I am just like Chip and Costa...my eye went right to the signs on top of the cabs:-) Neat shot...safe to assume you were crossing the street? Hope you were moving fast! Very creative.
Katraz
Looks like the start of a drag race.

5 Taxicabs & not one to be hailed! Great capture here, the good fortune of being at the right place at the right time. Thanks!
