on the subway.

What kind of photographer would I be if I didn't also include an obligatory shot from one of my many rides on the subway? As with the Brooklyn Bridge, the subway is another cliche shot that I'll always get if given the chance. The thing that always strikes me about riding the subway is how quiet it is. Everyone is fully engulfed in their own little antisocial world. Whether it's reading, sleeping or listening to their iPod, each person has their own invisible wall they've built to hide behind to avoid interaction with other people. It's an odd world down there in the rumbling cars of the subway.

I debated about whether I should post this photo or not. It's not one of my best shots. There are things I would've liked to do differently…different angles I might have attempted had I not been eager to go catch my train a few tunnels over, but this is what I managed to snap amid the hustle and bustle of the crowds shuffling through the subways of New York City. I think my favorite thing about it is that the little boy playing keyboard is black and white and the inanimate people illustrated with tiles are vibrant colors. That, and you can't help but imagine the crooning coming from that dapper young fellow's vocal chords with an expression like that on his face.
