My guest tonight is STEVEN DUNCAN. Mr. Duncan is an urban historian & photographer. “Undercity” is a mini documentary made by Mr. Duncan and videographer Andrew Wonder about exploring NYC subway and train tunnels and climbing bridges. Their adventures were recently featured in the New York Times and on NPR. In Steve Duncan's own words: "I try to peel back the layers of a city to see what's underneath. From the tops of bridges to the depths of sewer tunnels, these explorations of the urban environment help me puzzle together the interconnected, multi-dimensional history and complexity of the great metropolises of the world." www.undercity.org
What can I say about myself? I'm a retired cop turn writer and traveler. I have also rediscovered photography. I've own a Pentax and a Nikon since I was 15 years old. I used to have a darkroom in my basement, and for hours I'd develop black & white photographs. Recently, I purchased a digital Nikon camera. It's like learning photography all over again. I miss the darkroom, I felt more in control.
I'm also the author of the book The First Responders: The Untold Story of the NYPD & 9/11.
I am now certified in Animal Naturopathy and Homeopathy for cats & dogs.
