Like any good New Yorker, I sometimes shoot in the subway. There exists an entirely separate and distinct visual environment down there in those tunnels.

See a few more underground shots here.

Somewhere down these tracks is Manhattan.

The train can be one of those places where one might try to avoid eye contact with anyone.

On the contrary, if you’re more like me you often talk to strangers, especially those who seem more receptive to conversation. Michele was one of those people. Her little girl Maya was dosing with one of the most unconcerned looks I have ever seen on anyone’s face. A photo was taken, four in fact, and together they’re Maya on the 1.

Thanks again to Maya and Michele.

Here in New York we live in canyons of glass, stone and steel. ‘Sidewalking’ really only shows us the first few stories of most buildings, and when massively tall buildings are overhead. When you walk down the sidewalk, you have offer your complete visual attention to the other people on the sidewalk lest you collide with one. We have all forgotten to look up, and if we do we instantly feel self conscious, like everyone who sees us is thinking, “tourist.”

What does it look like to look straight up at the famous skyline, to stand in awe at the feet of giants? One looks like this.
