In my younger less foolish years, while working at the camera shop,  occasionally I hired on to help deliver sailboats along the Gulf and East Coast.  We asked only that expenses be paid.  In 1971 I was waiting to sail a thousand miles from City Island, NY to Ft. Lauderdale, and I spent a couple of days in Manhattan.  This is an old image in tribute to the NYC subway system, the best way to travel in the city.

Neat perspectives in this one, Bill, and I like the B&W.

Bill,
thanks for sharing your history and this iconic shot.  I like the B/W.  Did you shoot in color and process it in this manner or were you shooting B/W?
