Argh!!! Or: Even Pokemons take the subway...



After days of post production I'm trying to deliver a whole bunch of files... For most of the days the upload to my client's server went well... But when it got closer to FedEx closing time it started seriously slowing down... So much that I decided to burn some DVDs and just send those over... Somehow though that didn't go that well either... I burned three disks and none of them verified ok...
I guess for now the earlier delivered jpgs need to do... :(

Anyway: That really gives me time to deal with other stuff... Like updating my blog! ;)

Regarding the top image: It might not be the strongest image of this entry, but it made me smile: A sleeping kid wearing Pikachu hat & backpack... 


You can still see the heat here... Now it's much cooler in the city...


Happy / open...


Shades...


And more shades...


Funky focus... Not what I had in mind originally... But still works with her pendent drawing the view back to her...


Great lines...


Cool...


Concerned?


Vivid!


Art or trash? 


 Moving stuff via subway...


Oh?


I guess it's the hair that intrigues me... (says the bald man!) ;)


Love how he is spaced between the two moving cars... Person in the foreground just in frame...


"Lucky" is actually not the word coming to mind first...


OK then...


Embrace...


Alert!


Serious reading... 


Close and far...


The stories...


Heavy! I sympathize! 


Introverted... 


Not sure what that look says...


Most likely my favorite this time!


Quite surprised that the camera almost managed to focus correctly! ;) Still a keeper though!

Catching up to the old ways...




Finally after more than a month I'm back to posting more images here... Sorry for the long break! I did more traveling than usual and people were starting to notice me taking their pictures... While that might work for other kinds of street photography it hinders the "fly on the wall" approach that I am going for with this series... Not sure what was happening... Back to my old invisible self again! ;)

Enjoy this collection of images from the last month... Taken in big intervals...  

Why do I like the top image so much? Although summer is now almost over it's still hot and humid in the NYC subway system... I think this image illustrates that well... Not sure what his story is... Why he has a shopping cart with him underground... I guess more things to start the stories in your mind...


She's just so there!


Left and right and nothing in the middle...


It's hot, I told you!


Getting ready to exit the train...


 Scrubs or fancy dress?


 Great hair and eyes...


In his own world or reading the ads?


A case for this blog?


Having to go somewhere or wanting to?


Full of it?


He somehow reminds me of the Robber Hotzenplotz (a hero of one of my childhood books, and actually close to my first nickname...)


Not sure why this series got so blurry...


 Still blurry...


Exceptionally blurry!


Couldn't have it staged any better!


All cool and greenish... Just the exit sign...


Shapes...


Too close maybe?


Two worlds... Inside greenish / blueish, outside warmer and more saturated...


Dominican day parade aftermath...


Lots of commotion...


And emotions running high...


Stripes and shapes...


Just a strange Harlem moment...


One of the classic angles...


A Giants fan?


"Black" I guess...


Power resting...


Friendly!


Tropical imagery...


Intense... 


My train to class this morning... Other car though...


Earlyish Saturday morning...


Slightly off...


College freshmen invading the city...


Crisp and angular...


With a tender side... 


Strong in color and (muscle) tone...


Stripes and hat...


Interesting... (Whatever that word means!)



Last night when I got out of the subway...
