Brooding & Tripping...



It's summer now... But somehow darker and moodier in the subway system... Prepare for a new installment of trips around the New York City subway system...

The top image speaks to me because of the different layers in it and how it seems to hint at a story... Definitely a weird story though!


Confident...


Checking me out...


Red... The real deal!


Almost friendly...


Have come to like this setup... 


Lovely motion blur... And reflections...


Separate...


Almost dancing... Or at least in motion...


Strong and stark...


Faint...


There must be a signal here somewhere... Or at least a train!


Fitting the mood...


Lines are good!


Trying to get home a few nights ago... I'm still trying to catch one of those moments where people are waiting just inside subway station because it's raining way to hard... I like those moments... People feel stuck... But usually not in a bad way... Interesting conversations to be had...


Foreground - background...


Just a pairing thrown together by the randomness of the train...


Like his styling...


About to...


Tone in tone...


Strong profile...


Checking me out...


Me happy! Him? Not too sure... Red shirt really works though!


Where am I going?


The true spirit of 125 Street! ;)

Less hot, but humid now...



Weird, now it's colder again... Humid and rainy... Supposedly for a whole week... Weather somehow shows in the faces... Here are images from the last few trips on the subway again...

I like the top image because it shows direction and a strong face...



Two walking together or just at the same time...


Love the face...


Good mix of elements & weird color mix...


Just moments later, but completely different feeling with exchanged element...


Wasn't sure about this one, but decided to keep it: The train serves as a mirror...


Back at 125 Street station...


Leaving 125 Street station again... Neat how the sign reflects in the window... And of course: Shades in the subway! :)


Mix of patterns... With scratchy window...


Door opened... Stylish and strong...


Two sets of glasses are better than one!


Color coordinated...


Traveling musician...


Thinking, pretty much obscured...


Back at 125 Street station, next day... This time on the A, B, C & D lines...


Upside down smile... 


Motion blur and colors show the energy...


 Great diagonal line here...


Dreamy...


Touching...


Makes me smile!


What a fabulous and brave yellow!


Looking out...


How to describe the expressions here? But luckily I don't have to... 


Hot pink!


Not sure here... Sweet... Sad... Who knows?


Energetic... But a little sad or tired too...


Through a window again... And again 125 Street... Person in background is fabulous!


Great to see older people with attitude and lots of energy!


Starting again at 125 Street station... No need to list the lines this time! ;)


Strong even with closed eyes...


14 Street station...


Here as well... Love how the view goes to her silhouette... 


Bit of a chaotic shot, but great eyes and hand on cap gesture...


Tone in tone... And that in a color I couldn't even name!


Intense... End for me that day...
