Penn Station and People Rushing About


There is no shortage of people in New York...



and most of them are rushing about.


I was on Penn Station yesterday waiting for a train to Long Island. I wanted to take portraits of people, but, as usual, though others might think I was some sort of nut.


I rather hesitate to approach people with guns.


So, instead I started looking for patterns, and stayed in the same place and let people walk into the camera frame - like in Grand Budapest Hotel.


It was fun.


Anyway...




Robert does somewhat of the same thing in this painting of people in slightly warmer weather - all together - all separate.


I finally managed to have a conversation with a real person even though I didn't want any pizza. Sayed is from Egypt, which, according to him, is a much better country than Morocco...

Trains and Stuff/ Shadow Shot Sunday


For more Shadow Shots go to Heyharriet!


Penn Station. Friday afternoon.


The Long Island Railroad train draws in.


The weather outside is frightful. Such wintry skies over Forest Hills.


The decor of the On Parade Diner on Jericho Turnpike in Syosset is totally over the top.
One of the waiters adopts the pensive pose of James Dean in the mural.

 5pm.Hicksville Station. A chilly sun sets in the direction of Manhattan and its light bounces off the posters and railing.
