The Guy On Canal Street Directing Traffic

This is one of those strange things that can only happen in New York.

Helaine and Steffie were in a store. I was on the sidewalk. I noticed the collective body language of a cluster of people up the street. It’s funny the signs you subconsciously pick out. Something was going on.

I had my camera, so I made my way to the corner and found a well dressed, middle aged man, directing traffic.

I shot a bunch of pictures and recorded a narration to explain what I saw. Attached is my 80 second documentary, “A Little Slice of New York.”

Blogger’s note: Do you know this guy? If you do, please let me know. I’m curious who he is.
