I got to know Spider while making a documentary about New York cabbies called "Drivers Wanted." Hanging around the garage in Queens, Spider was hard to miss, with a bodega cigar always dangling between his lips and a neon-lettered hat that read "Old Dude." He moved to New York City in the 1930s to escape racism in Florida and started driving a cab in 1945. He didn't like driving when it was drizzling, sleeting or dark. But he found comfort in other conditions that would irritate most New Yorkers. "I love the traffic," he told me. "The worser the traffic gets, the better I like it."

This is one of five short films commissioned by the magazine's editors, in collaboration with The Times's Op-Docs team, for this issue.
