What could be more exciting? I was taking a break from this series as I was sick and needed to change things up... I see this project as a portrait of New York City subway, but so far most of the images have been without people in them... But of course what is the subway for if not to transport people... Looking at a lot of street photography recently I thought about going more into that direction... But trying to find people, convince them to let me take their picture and then have them be relaxed enough again to get natural looking images was a challenge that I felt not ready for... Just shoot and run is not really my style either... Then a friend offered to pose for me in the subway... This started a whole new line of possibilities...
Mona Eltahawy kindly allowed me to take her portrait while riding the subway...
The tough part for me is to show enough of the surrounding at least at this stage of the project...
I love this image... There is such a depth in her view...
Next up was my friend
Gustavo Marx, a fellow photographer whose work I deeply admire... Returning from a photo gathering I waited with them for their local downtown train to arrive at 125 St station when he offered to pose for me... Luckily I had my camera with me... I like how the alertness is showing, but not in a negative way...
