Days before the accident. Can’t wait to get back out. Subway stairs are going to be the hard part.
'Every true New Yorker believes with all his heart that when a New Yorker is tired of New York, he is tired of life.'
- Robert Moses
To take this picture I had to buy the special boomerang camera that follows you down the crowded subway stairs without being grabbed by somebody on its way down or smashed against the wall or beat you down the stairs!!! . . . . Or ask a friend to take the picture...
Taken at 42nd-Times Square Subway Station
This picture was taken with a Fujifilm X10 and processed with DxO Film Pack 3 as Cross-Processed Kodak Elite 100. Notice that someone has stolen the Nick Brandt pictures from the frames.
[I went to the advertised exhibition in Stockholm and was blown away by the size and quality of his animal "portraits". Check out: www.nickbrandt.com ]

Something that has always fascinated me as I walk for miles around NYC going from shoot to shoot is seeing just how differently people's lives are at a particular moment in time. Someone sits reading in a cafe, another hugs a loved one goodbye, someone rushes down the subway stairs to catch a train, while another dreams of a better life.
I've decided to start a photo series where I walk on a particular street in Manhattan for only an hour and take photos of anyone that tells some kind of story to me. My goal is to show just how differently, and perhaps even how similarly, we're all existing in a particular slice of time.
As I look back on this first set I did within one hour on Broadway between 34th and Prince Streets, I found it to be more telling than I'd even imagined.

Today was quite a day. Not because I had seven hours of meetings, or because I had to give one of the Keynote presentations I'd written before, or that I was exhausted from another night's light insomnia stemming, Jules and I hypothesize, from our apartment's and by extension our bedroom's general suckiness. No, mainly because when I took this photo (giving it a light color temperature orange cast by holding my iPhone up to the gradient rose lens of my sunglasses), I was in the middle of a great mental paralysis, almost what clinical psychologists call a "fugue state," comprised almost entirely over whether or not to have Korean barbeque on 32nd Street. To save you all the suspense, I did, but not without ascending and descending the subway stairs three times, and entering four restaurants, actually sitting down at two of them, and even getting up at the last one before finally receiving the OK from the waitress to purchase only one order of beef tongue and still be able to barbeque at the table--which was sort of the point of the whole excursion.
When I returned home, I was so tired and food-comaed, I fell asleep on the couch. I was then turned away by my wife, who understandably wanted to watch some tv, or at least not sit in the dark. The bedroom was too hot and dry--arid like plains of New Mexico, and with the slight scentof bread wafting up from the pizza ovens a floor below (see aforementioned suckiness). So I soon found myself on the hallway floor, the window cracked open a hair. I awoke twenty minutes later with an aggravated lower back.
To avoid writing, I went to the gym... at 10pm, marking the seventh time on eight days, and a clear indication of my procficiency at procrastination--though I'm doing my best to stop relating to my writing that way, and again, just accept what is for the moment (to stop "trying" so hard to fall asleep, if you will, or in another overly used metaphor, "turn into the skid.")
When I returned, Julie was awake. My mom had called. Something was wrong. As it turns out, my grandaunt had passed away. She was 85. A former dentist in a time when women were never dentists, let alone a Taiwanese woman who travelled with her husband to South America. The past few years had twisted her personality a bit, coiling bitterness around her like a gnarled and aged fist. But her husband, my grand-uncle who was once a professor in Brazil and spoke five languages and now struggles with his own growing senescence and mental deterioration, loved her still, and doted on her, devotedly. May she rest in peace.
My mother's back is hurting again. And my father seems to have pinched a nerve while pulling some weeds from in front of the house. And of course my own trapeze induced aching. Our little nuclear family, connected now by synchronistic vertebral ailments.
(I can't believe I wrote this all on a phone. What a world.)
I inhale. Stream of
Consciousness. Ripples in a lake.
The dog is amused.

This was a little before 5 pm typically rush hour when the subway stairs are a steady flow of feet obscured by crowds in the plaza.

This unique trash can backstop looks to have been relocated from a subway entrance or storage yard somewhere in the city to the sidewalk outside this print shop in the Borough Park/Dyker Heights borderlands.
There are two nearby subway lines: the West End Line (D train), which is elevated, and the Sea Beach Line (N train), which runs in an open cut with station houses at its entrances. Lampposts and railings like these, however, are generally only found at simple sidewalk entrances to underground stations, so it would seem they must have come from somewhere more exotic.
(Did you know? The design of a station's lampposts and railings can tell you a little about its history.)
(And if you've ever wondered why some subway globe lamps are green and others are red, don't worry: there's a logical system behind it all. Sort of.)

This is (basically) the view you come upon as you're coming up the subway stairs. I'm surprised there aren't more human pile-ups there.

Cardiff Central Station, 10 July 2018. Opened in 1850 by the South Wales Railway, it was entirely rebuilt in 1932-34 by the GWR, their chief architect being Percy Emerson Culverhoouse. A new platform and southern entrance/booking hall was provided in 2015. Pictured is the subway stairs to platforms 3,4 & 5.

+ this is an example of Tokyo's endless multi-layered subway stairs :)
After our last trip in Japan back in 2015, this time I wanted to check out Hokkaido. But before heading north, we spent 6 days in Tokyo first.
Looks great at Large. All I used is NX-D.
Subway entrance on a Broadway traffic island at Columbus Circle, 2006. The building in the backround is now Trump International Hotel which has a faux Unisphere. Compare to a 1995 shot with the same lens and camera.

Home of the Staten Island Ferry Hawks, which are in the North Division of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. Formerly Staten Island University Hospital Community Park (SIUH) which hosted a New York Yankees affiliate, rebranded for a day as the Staten Island Pizza Rats in 2018 after a picture went viral of a rat dragging a pizza double its size down some subway stairs.
