waiting

Posted by lissa (New York, United States) on 17 September 2007 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

It was so hot in this subway station - I can barely breathe. The weather was really hot that day but inside this station was even worst. The station was underground and there was just no air. What a relief when the train came. Don't think I will ever wait on this subway station again.

I love the shot although I'm sorry you had to wait in the heat. Sounds awful. At least you got a good photograph out of it.

i know that stop all to well... the E train at 5th Ave & 53rd Street! think they've got you going up and down enough escalators? for another station buried deep beneath the street, try the F train stop at 63rd & Lex

do you know there are tons of abandoned stations in the nyc subway system? check them out... i think they'd make a great photo project, if you could get into them.

p.s. the site is temporarily down, but check back later

@John-Paul: Yeah, there are a lot of escalators - so many directions sometimes you forget where you are.

The abandoned stations nyc subways - sounds like an interesting project to check out. Thanks.
