Great shot Sean and yes, they've disappeared over the years.
Sean Davey replied:
And I remember at the time that I was shooting this picture in 2002 how I would have liked to be shooting the last generation of cabs from the 80's, but I got my iconic shot all the same with these Ford Crown Victorias.

I captured this image in early 2002 on Fujichrome Velvia. It took some timing to get it right and a lot of patience, running out in between cabs with just ten or twenty seconds to allow for me to get the image.
Nicklas Gustafsson
What a cool picture!
Sean Davey replied:
Cheers Nicklas. I recall when I shot this photograph, thinking how cool that it would have been great to get the older Taxi's like this, but now, these cars are those older taxi's.
Kay Brewer
Cool capture! Lf
Sean Davey replied:
Thanks, Kay. The funny thing was that at the time I took this image, I was wishing they were the older cabs that they used to have, for exactly the same historic reason.
