I took this photo on the 4 line's elevated track in the Bronx in the spring of 2009. I was in still in school at the time pursuing my degree in photography and interning for Life.com. I was developing a true passion for street photography and was inspired by the work of photographers such as Mr. Davidson, Roy DeCarava, & Helen Levitt among others. I think this photograph represents one aspect of city life; amid all the hustle and bustle and crowded trains there are still some quiet moments. Even if its only for a second.
