I was working on a series of subway shots while taking a photography class at the Cooper Union School of Continuing Education. This shot was taken in the winter of 2010. I like the intimacy of the couple in such a public place like a subway car. I think it shows how people live their lives in New York - often in crowded locations. It also shows how New Yorkers have the ability to find a private and peaceful zone in the midst noise and crowds.
