Do you have the exact name of this book? Thanks.

They did a piece on this New York cab driver who randomly shoots pictures as he is driving around in his cab. I'm afraid I forget his name, but he has a new book out called Drive By Shooting. He gets some really remarkable shots considering most of them are done while he is driving (around NY no less) and without looking through the viewfinder. He uses point and shoot cameras with "really nice Zeiss lenses" according to the report. I'm not sure what camera that would be. What he used looked like any old black point and shoot. He's gone through a few already having dropped a couple out of the window of his cab and having spilled too much food on some. He seemed to take photographs so naturally and effortlessly. Even when he snapped pictures of those in the back of his cab the people usually did not know he was taking their picture. CBS Sunday morning does pieces on photographers fairly often, I think, but I am usually not coherent enough that early on Sunday to remember to turn it on. Michael Bell MBell@mail.utexas.edu
