the subway.



it's how i get where i am going when it's too far or late to walk. where i realize how much i share in common with perfect strangers. where i do my best thinking. i like looking down and seeing chuck taylors and leather loathers, flip flops and oxfords. side-by-side. i like wondering where people are going, where they are coming from, what their stories are. because i know they have them. i only need to look around at what people are reading to know that all sorts of people have the same questions and wonders as me. that's not just comforting at 8:26 on a tuesday morning commute. that's comforting in life. in a funny way, i think that some of the most interesting, most valuable lessons of this city are learned when i am traveling beneath it.

  1. You know, I hate to sound like a broken record but WOW are these pics incredible! And I can totally see your inquisitive face as you imagine what is going on in the minds and lives of others as you ride to and from work. Your pictures show not only the black and white of our world but the gray area as well! I love this!

  2. I feel like Christy, I am a total broken record here but I still have to say it. These pictures are so great! I am sure that whenever I am unfortunate enough to have to leave the city, I will return to your blog and cry happy, nostalgic tears as I look through all the beautiful pictures you've taken. You capture this city and all the unique things that make it so great.
