Wife and husband duo Shannon and Phil Kirkman (shannonkirkman and philipkirkman) created and photographed the New York City Taxi Driver calendar (nyctaxicalendar). NYC taxi drivers provide an essential service and 90% of them come from immigrant backgrounds — yet most passengers never seek to know them beyond the transportation they offer. To challenge this paradigm, the Kirkmans celebrate cabbies from January to December, showcasing their personality and humor. A portion of their sales even benefit University Settlement, a resource for 40,000 immigrant and working individuals. nyctaxicalendar, shannonkirkman, philipkirkman #nyc #taxi #nyctaxi #newyorkcity #taxi #wildnewyork #ilovenewyork #photography #nycphotographer
