I took this photograph last month on the C train going to Bedsty. The subway, like the city, feels very different there from Manhattan and the better off parts of Brooklyn. A friend of mine said this picture reminded him of the 80s, sans graffiti. What initially caught my attention was the contrast between the atmosphere on that train and the message on the poster: "Improving non-stop. We're making improvements that you can see every day. Including a new way to tell you about improvements. Just look up."
