This is a photograph of the M Train. It was taken on September of 2010. I was inspired to take this photograph simply because of the way the morning light reflected through the windows and onto the ground of the train. It is a very abstract image but one that unravels familiar details when observed carefully. New York after all is definitely not one-dimensional.

3 silent men in the elevator of Clark Station, I was trying my camera when i saw the three pairs of feet aligned, it gives an idea of the anonymity in the city.

For the entire ride, nearly 20 minutes, this man was completely engrossed in reading his paper, The Voice, -- when the train stopped or was in motion, while he sat back or leaned forward on his knees, turning pages, turning his head from one page to another, and falling deeply into the funnies, his concentration was remarkable, as was his apparent obliviousness to anything else. Yet I suspect New Yorkers are simultaneously watchful and skilled at looked simply thoroughly engrossed and unaware.
