eww. if that weirdly-bald guy wasn't in the picture it could have been better! it's a sickening sight :(
bright & red seats :)
tryin' ta show that you're an avid rider of the TTC I suppose? ;)
I like the quickness with which you deny that the man with the glaring bald spot, was not you. :)
Posted by Chris at February 3, 2005 12:58 AMNice composition, but too red for a TTC subway car.
I do like that little bald spot on his head.
Wow, those seats look very luxurious. New car, I presume?
Posted by Edwinek at February 3, 2005 01:33 AMWow, you guys have plush seats compared to us here in Chicago...nice.
Posted by Lisa at February 3, 2005 02:00 AMnice colours
Posted by bluemonkey at February 3, 2005 02:31 AMNice colors. Beautiful warm reds. The red from the seats and the stainless go well together. ISO 400 is very nice here. Very nice exposure. I did an aircraft engine on my site yesterday (albeit a bit oversharpened w/ editing). Steel is always fun to shoot. My Rebel arrives tomorrow (now today, since it is 1:30 am here in Arizona, USA) and I will also be using a Nikon Coolpix 5400. p.s. - the guy works quite well here too - nice job!
Posted by Abe Savona at February 3, 2005 03:41 AMIs that a skin-colored yamaka, or the craziest bald spot I've seen in a long while? :)
Posted by Brandon at February 3, 2005 07:36 AMi just want to say i really enjoy your pics.
Posted by pappnase at February 3, 2005 07:54 AMOddly enough, that's me!! Didn't realize the solar power grid on the top of my head has so shiny.
Posted by qoJ at February 3, 2005 07:56 AMThe color contrast looks very nice!
Posted by Flow at February 3, 2005 09:19 AMThat is one CLEAN subway car...
You don't see those in NYC.
Great pic!
Posted by mike at February 3, 2005 10:28 AMWow - your subway cars are far nicer than those in Montreal. Ours are just hard seats. These look comfortable. We also don't have those long rows of seats along the sides and we don't have ads up near the ceiling. Your subway cars look mkore like our buses.
I love the red.
Posted by sherry at February 3, 2005 11:15 AMi guess this is the wrog choice for the last day of bloggies voting!
Posted by behrouz at February 3, 2005 11:15 AMThe colours are good but I am not a fan of this picture. It is an attempt to find something interesting in an uninteresting environment.
Posted by Daniel at February 3, 2005 11:19 AMThose are some pretty coold seats.
Posted by riff at February 3, 2005 11:56 AMI'm sorry, but this photo is terrible. It's even worse than that "dark room with exit sign" from a few days ago. Sure, the colours are nice, but there is nothing redeeming about this photo. The subject is uninteresting, there is no symmetry or feeling, and the photo is uninspiring.
Come on, Sam. You won the respect of people like myself from posting technically and artistically amazing photos. You can do better than this.
Posted by jj_t at February 3, 2005 01:58 PMmm... Is that Peter Jackson? lol
Posted by Tony at February 3, 2005 04:10 PMAmazing that anyone would call this foto "uninteresting or worse, "terrible." Beside the vibrant colors and contrasts, the guy in the front of the car makes this shot very interesting indeed. Look at his posture. What is he thinking? Is he approachable? And it is far from "ordinary." Subway cars aren't this clean. This feels like the middle of the night. Good photography takes the most ordinary and makes it extraordinary. Anyone can shoot a shrine and make it interesting, but capturing the essence of a subway car and adding a measure of personality to something so ordinary is what creates the extraordinary. Sam, you are the best and that is why I voted for you!
Posted by Abe Savona at February 3, 2005 04:47 PMakhay!! ino emroz gerefty!?
che banamak:P
(bebakhshid baraye man tazegi dare :D )
I like this photo. I like the depth of it. the focus on the chair and the rest of the subway car spanning off behind it, yet all stands out clear and sharply. Definitely my taste, but to each there own.
As for the man sitting in the subway car he adds a human element to the photo that holds my attention longer than a sterile empty car would have.
In addition lets all back off and stop dumping on the poor guy. It must be hard enough walking around like that each day. Lets not be so shallow as to judge a book by its cover (its better not to judge on looks alone.) Unless you dont mind sounding terribly shallow and superficial.
Thanks again sam for a nice photo.

Posted by Andrew at February 3, 2005 08:55 PMhahahaha...i liked how you added "no thats not me"
Posted by redk at February 3, 2005 09:40 PMEveryone is quick to criticize when its not to their liking. I know how difficult it can be to take pictures like you do.
Just like to say thanks. As a Torontonian living in Montreal, the "daily dose of imagery" gives me a taste of home and as a result, im less homesick.
My desktop is still the picture of King St. vertigo that was posted a few days back.
I may be biased, but keep up the great work.

I think the baldspot is interesting and makes the picture, especially with so much chrome around.
Posted by wookiee at February 4, 2005 10:32 AMshould have focused more on that interesting guy
Posted by wil at February 5, 2005 01:20 PMWOW. seriously, i agree with the lisa person, this train car has much more luxurious seats than we do in chicago...
envy...
