Checker Cab, Midtown Manhattan

Taxis are so ubiquitous and, like trash, you can drive yourself crazy taking pictures of them, if that’s all you’re looking for. But it’s not every day that you see an old Checker Cab:

This one was waiting on the corner of 57th and Lexington this afternoon across the street from some stupid film/television shoot — you know, the kind that you try not to notice on principle (this appeared to be several women dressed in furs in a shop window). I don’t know if the cab was related, but it was obviously one of those film prop sort of cabs . . .
