I watch this over and over and over again. Being a native NY'er now living in Texas I get an added hoot from this. Bruce is one of a kind a true gem. Nothing like watching the best of them work like this. Hats off to Bruce. Hopefully he'll be doing this work for decades to come. Thanks for posting this.

Wow, what an amazing way of working! Bruce is a one of a kind, what an inspiration yet a style that will only ever be his own! I like it when he took the picture of the ladies 'diamonds'!

Bruce has an exceptional character i just love watching him take pictures he is crazy "in a good way" and i believe that no one could do this kind of photography except him .

This was both enjoyable and educational to watch. Bruce looked like a kid in a candy store with the characters there. Love the "tough guy" shot at 6:57, classic Bruce Gilden photo. Great essay, much appreciated!
