MATT WEBER, the cabbie with a camera, started out shooting the streets of NYC from his taxi in the early 80’s. Driving 7 days per week and 100 miles per day, he saw a unique and sometimes grimy side of NYC.
We revisit the Times Square sites where some of his most famous images were taken, analyzing then vs now. From the strip clubs and porn theaters to Disney stores and Batman, Matt weighs the positives and negatives of the changing times. It’s evident Matt truly loves documentation since it pays very few bills relative to how much time he spends on it. When he’s not taking care of his daughter, you'll find him out on the streets looking for that next perfect shot.

WRONG SIDE OF THE LENS is a documentary series exploring the lives of street photographers. Here, we get a rare chance to turn the camera on those not used to on that side of the lens. We begin to answer the question of why they are so obsession with taking images of complete strangers. They come from a variety of backgrounds yet are drawn to this same calling; street photo. This is a relatively new and, often misunderstood art form, which leaves ample room for these hard working artists to push boundaries. This series captures many of these moments.
