Photo shot by my Dad, Jay Thomson, at Lafayette, CA in Jan. 1977
On January 5, 1977 Dad shot this westbound BART train approaching the Lafayette, California station.
Bart and Owen Stebnitsky were tied for ninth place after two days and earned trip through tent as part of boat parade.
Empty except for a woman on the other half of the train and myself.
She turned around at some point, the shutter on my camera is kind of loud!
This is a shot from my photoshoot with Bart Rochon a few weeks back. He selected this as one of the ones he liked and wanted processed.
This is a two exposure fusion. The building behind Bart was blown out and his face was too dark. After processing it on Photomatix I then tweaked the shadows on his face using dodge, and did some general blemish clean-up and a tweak to the tint.
'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 they're 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.
This was the glen park BART station's break room refrigerator. It's been sitting there for about a week now.
