This was taken last Halloween. I got on the subway to get to the Halloween parade, but soon realized that there was more going on underground than there was at the actual parade.
For me, this photo looks like it could have been taken on any day of the year in New York, which is to say, the city is full of so many interesting characters. I also love the body language of the subway riders, they are cool and collected in their costumes, as only a New Yorker would be.

What would the subway be without all the free entertainment?? Sometimes very good, but sometimes bad.

Sometimes it's as if you are the only one on the subway.

This is a series of self portraits photographed upon my departure from Times Square at the 42nd Street Subway Station.

I wanted to make a series of self portraits of myself in relationship to this being my first visit to Times Square.

I think I was most struck by my entrance to and exit from Times Square and wanted to convey a series of images that placed me in relationship to other people who were also entering and exiting the physical space of Times Square.

I was also very conscious of wanting to create a "newer" image of Times Square for myself and not the imagined one or the one replicated so many times in print and television. I am very happy with the spontaneous collaboration of all the people passing through this frame created by the Times Square Subway entrance/ exit.
