Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.~ Robert Frost

I enjoy capturing unique street photography when I seize the opportunity. This image is one of my favorites from a trip to Manhattan during the Christmas season. This pedicab driver caught my eye with his personalized holiday pedicab. His character is shown by the attention to detail and the way in which he drives his cab. I was drawn to this. He was offering his clients a ride they would not forget. Accordingly, I named this image Priceless Ride. When I was taking images of him I noticed through the view finder the sleek white limo that had moved into the frame. I loved this contrast of style and made some quick shots. The coldness of the limousine with its darkened windows and impersonal nature paled in comparison to the warmth of the pedicab. The energy of the peddling driver with his guests wrapped in warmth brings a smile every time I come across this image. The doll is our key that there is someone young at heart in the cab but I imagine there were more including the peddler himself. I am grateful for the time I had to notice, capture and enjoy this unique scene in a world class city.
