Subway Stuff (August 2015)

[Daniel The Cool]

Haven't been on here for awhile but here's a few NYC Subway pictures taken in August. Enjoy

Well thanks for viewing

Unless you are a train aficionado and really love the train for itself, these are pretty empty of impact.
They are reasonably good technically but the pictures have nothing that one couldn't see any day or evening in the subway.

Sorry.

Just saw the link and I disagree.

That link you can also see most of those stuff happen in the subway at any time (I used the subway daily so I would kind of know)

Only 3 of those images in the link you put up are rare for the subway but everything else is common. Leads back to what you said that people can see in any day or evening.

The images in the link capture a moment, a typical moment, maybe. I think your images are representative, but lack impression.

I think I saw a few others that you made. A portrait of a latino woman in acid-wash jeans and a couple of women going to the pride parade? Those were better.

My goal is to see things, usually ephemeral moments that occur and disappear, that have a meaning and capture them in a way that holds that meaning.

Your pictures are of events or things that are either there all the time or happen every 3 minutes (on some lines) - and there is no barrier to taking them and you exercise no special effort or skill in seeing or capturing them.
Anyone could go to those places and stations at any moment and take the same pictures as you have taken.

Thinking that, by using the subway, you automatically become an authority on pictures in the subway, is like thinking that, because you pee every day, you are a urologist.
