This lovely woman's blue accents brought a seawater sensitivity & silverized subway color harmony to our short anonymous time un-together across the aisle -- and the soft blanched seaweed shirt of the man standing nearby blended with the train's silver metal. Everyone remained new york concentrated within their own world. The photographer's red coat, barely noticeable, extends to the red ground beyond glass doorpanes. Breasts, arms, singular spaces. Who knows who is really concentrating and lost in a world, or self-consciously watchful? Though she was meticulously, deliberately accented in blue in many lovely ways, my catching her contrasts in being by chance of a moment, and my appreciation of her luscious blues remains uncommunicated.
