New York City was a harder place back then, but Rodriguez's frames manage to find a consistent human warmth. * Brooklyn Magazine * In any situation, Rodriguez is not a taxi driver who takes pictures, but a fearless, astute and inspired photographer who happens to drive a cab. -- Luc Sante * New York Times Book Review * This Winter's Best Coffee-Table Books of 2020 -- Allison Schaller * Vanity Fair * What an amazing book! -- Richard Price Rodriguez's black and white photographs diminish none of the colour and intensity of the city or its people as we catch fleeting glimpses of S&M club goers, homeless people, elderly couples, children playing in their neighbourhoods, and everyone in between. -- Megan Williams * Creative Review *

He remained true to documenting the delicate dance that is the human condition in action, and I am elated he did. Rodriguez understands that the camera is a pliant tool and not merely a mechanical tyrant - he has made it submissive to his highly mature vision and we have all benefited. -- Michael Ernest Sweet * Street Photography * Similar to Walker Evans or other great social documentarians, he treats his subjects with dignity. 'The overarching mission of Joseph Rodriguez's work is to make visible those we choose not to see... to confront us with (their) everyday humanity.' -- Emily Dinsdale * Dazed Magazine *
