Bart was our first Pembroke Welsh Corgi. (Adopted as a rescue dog at the age of 6 months) After 12 years of dedicated service to our family, Bart crossed over the rainbow bridge on 4/15/02. He was a great dog.

I was hoping to get a photo of this young man in profile, unnoticed, but wound up with this shot. When I saw in the capture that he’d seen me, I immediately went to him and said: “I just took this picture of you and I think it’s really cool (showing him the photo). Can I keep it and use it on my photography site?” He smiled when he saw the photo and said, kind of excitedly (to my surprise): “Yeah, that’s cool! Yeah, sure.” In that brief conversation, I realized the kid was probably a lot younger than I’d initially thought, and maybe not as tough as what he wanted to project (assumptions based on observations and some life experience – but assumptions nonetheless).
After a pretty rigorous self-assessment of this interaction, I felt that I acted ethically enough, mainly because of my respect for my subject. However, if anyone reading this has opinions either way on the ethical dimensions of this photo, I hope you’ll share them, and that you'll be candid. (I find the ethics of street photography to be a great discussion topic.)

'Bay Area Rapid Transit' (BART) is an efficient, fast, and easy-to-use public transit system. I use it all the time, and almost always with my bike.
I NEVER lock my bike at BART stations. If I ride to BART, I ALWAYS bring my bike on the train with me. This photo is why.
I have, over the years, sold countless replacement wheels, seat/seatposts, and bikes to victims of bike theft. A huge percentage of said theft takes place at BART stations. Tip Top is only 8 blocks away from MacArthur BART, so it's the station I use if I need to take a train after work. I see broken locks and bikes with missing parts there all the time.
Most above-ground (and many underground) stations have bike racks, with space for dozens of bikes. These racks have been nothing less than a buffet for bike thieves. The racks are secure and sturdy. To the uninformed cyclist, they appear very safe. Most learn the hard way how unsafe the racks truly are. I hear their stories firsthand, and it's usually heartbreaking.
This has been going on for years, and BART Police has finally admitted there is a problem. They are making an effort to inform cyclists who use the racks on how to effectively secure their bicycles.
the Coliseum Bart Ramp Oakland CA Really not as desolate as it appears. Thousands of people use this ramp going to and from the Coliseum or Oracle Arena to catch a game or concert. After a Raider game it can become full end to end with no wiggle room which can actually be a scary experience. And there are always plenty of scalpers to greet you after departing the BART station.
There was this odd woman on the BART platform. She turned toward me like she was really glad to see me, but then she obviously realized she didn't know me and turned away. A minute later she did the same thing to someone else who didn't even notice. It's like she kept expecting to run into somebody she knew. Then she got sort of agitated. There's all sorts of crazy people at the 19th St station but this lady was really normal looking, with a briefcase and a nice looking raincoat. I tried to get a picture of her but she must have walked around the corner while the camera was focusing or maybe something weird happened with the light because this is the picture that I got and she's obviously nowhere to be seen.
