Ghost Rider on the Train
Brooklyn, NY - GGP - Thursday, June 9th, 2005 : goo
Browsing articles by Ggp - [previous] :: [next]
What with all the edicts against taking photographs on the NY subway system, it seems particularly urgent to take loads of photos of the NY subway system--something I have been doing all of my life. These were incidental shots. I was trying to capture some of the lights, graf, and textures in the tunnel while riding home to Brooklyn on the N train. The "real story" in this series of shot turned out to be in the reflections of this wonderful gentleman.

lovely and moody!
why are you not allowed to take photos? in case you are a stalker, or you give someone an epileptic fit with your flash? perhaps in case you temporarily blind a driver and the train somehow swerves off the tracks, mounts the platform, causing carnage and mayhem? i cannot guess

once hool and i were on a subway in toronto with a piece of fake dog poo taking funny photos and the conductor stopped the train and yelled over the intercom until we got off.

i also got in trouble for photographing a bowling alley in tokyo that happened to be beside a koban (police box). a cop came out and asked, "where you from?" and made me delete the photos.

you could be gathering "intelligence." if i'm ever accused of that, i'll say i'm gathering stupidity instead.

or just whine 'but i neeeed intelligence so badly' and look puppydog eyes?

"What with all the edicts against taking photographs on the NY subway system" -- stop crying, that shit was overturned.

gathering intelligence...that's good. we need more of that, for sure.

btw, some of those shots would make nice desktop wallpapers at higher rez.

i love ghosty reflections of folks in train windows. i was watching them last night, while riding the Q over the bridge into brooklyn.
Peter: 10th Jun 2005 - 13:49 GMT

Always gotta have the Bessborough Hotel (on the left) somewhere in a Saskatoon picture. Cheesy to those who are from S'toon, I know. But....I'm proud of my home town.
