subway with bluescreen
Originally uploaded by blind sam.

I'm not a fan of subway shots, there's something a little too easy about them and the alienation of the subway's invasive space a little too common and inarticulate. Even mr. Evan's 'many are called' portraits stumble into the banality of it, finding what is common rather than a greater truth or interest in it. That said, there is something interesting in that the character types and the attrition remain the same now as then.

Given this generally dismissive attitude I have towards the shots, I naturally present here, here, and here three of my own! Except the virtue of the ever-presentish document has been absolved as I try to composite away its unthinking self-righteousness. (Lies are far more interesting and open to a greater flexibility which, to me at least, makes them closer to something true than that bulldozer-like truth.)
