you compliments for a handheld photo, on a moving subway, at 1/8 sec. shutter. Bravo...looks really well done and crisp. :-)

is that the flash's light on the seat, or is that the light from above?

بسیار زیبا مثل همیشه ...

Nice shot, a little more contrast would have been better. He doesn't seem too comfortable with his picture being taken

good choice for this color tone.

Perhaps a better subtitle would be "taken in a new york subway car" instead of "shot in a new york subway car"? :)

Nice use of black and white, as well as using the poles for framing. This is a great shot.

you should do more black & white work. this is great.

Kind of weird seeing a NYC subway car on your site. Very cool how you used the poles to frame the shot.

I like this shot, reminds me of times past. I was born and raised in New York City. Spent quite a bit of time in trains. This shot brought back many memories.

Good shot today. I like the symmetry of the poles and the look on the guy's face is priceless. I just wish there was more atmosphere with deeper shadows.

I'm always afraid to shoot people in the subway. There are unspoken rules like no eye contact and keeping a respectable distance. It such a close quarters environment, it's hard to give people their personal space. I like what you've done here. Great scratch-fitti, metal, and glossy textures and the man with his distant gaze.

Very, very, very good.

nice silvery tones and good choice for converting it into b&w.

Nice framing with the metal poles.

Did you ask this guy permission before or afterwards [ so you could get "Truth" ] ?

this pic could be called "lonliness"

Hah! It's funny seeing your pictures of such familiar territory. I can definitely see the wvs spin on NY scenery though. awesome shot!

This is a great shot.

It's a shame how the subway cars are always vandalized with grafitti. The etching on the windows is horrible and costly to repair. They had really tried to clean things up a lot, but there are vandals out there determined to destroy city property and will find a means to do it.

Fabulous! I love the tones and all of the different textures and patterns.

Cool shot, looks prety clean compared to the London underground.

This does have a very "New York" feel. He looks like a fast food store worker on night shift.

Only and lonely.

Stark and a little depressing to see how badly we humans can treat our living space. Messy grafitti is not where it's at. Sad, talentless souls.

The gentleman looks like he may be dreaming of better places.

You can tell he's had a really long day.

Absolutely awesome. There is so much to read in his face, and so much to imagine about his life. My hat is off to you - this one blows me away.

I hope there was no pun intended in the comment of the picture. lol. Nice picture, black and white really brings out the right mood for this image. Great work as always.

good...
i like each of the details that go into making of the general effect: 'half-empty' car, a solitare tired man, tags scratched on the windows, light outside, a map and part of some advertisment on the wall of the car..
very nice one

very nice capture!!
i love metro pictures.

this is cool. i cant recall seeing too many pictures like this on your website. looks like something i might see on travisruse or joesnyc, but infused with the structure and straight lines of daily dose!

Great job
i look at your site everyday
see u in France !

Wow what huge feet he has love the shot

Just want to know, did you ask for the guy's permission?

awesome sam! please, please, please post the color version

i enjoy the trashy glow of horisontal metro composition, and man sitting on the edge in a shirt with stripes pointing different...but still,all in the simillar tone

lovely shiny lights with awesome composition.

COOL MAN/ THIS IS URBANISTIC

This didn't need to be labelled 'New York' to know it isn't Toronto!

Have a great holiday!

@ Laurie - you should see the Metro in Rome. the entire sides of the trains there are covered in graffitti.

my favorite part about this shot is how he seems to be leaning into the "do not lean on door" sign, the 1/8s shutter blurs him just so slightly that it looks as if he's moving to lean on the door even as you look at the picture.

One of my favorites. I love the offset balance and the framing using the poles in the foreground. His posture seems very natural, nice work.

Really, really nice. Great shot.

well done! call me an ignorant atlantic canadian... but how do you get away with shooting in such sketchy places with nice gear?
