Everytime I stop at Jamaica to change trains, I walk around with my camera looking for a photograph. The wind was howling the other day, coming from the north, and so I walked over to the glassed in waiting room and stood on the south side, out of the wind. Then I noticed people inside looking out and I thought I would try and get a photograph. The secret is, you must NEVER look at the person you want to photograph - it is a dead giveaway. So I was facing down the platform acting as if I was shooting a photograph in that direction, but then I would lower the camera as if I was looking down the platform with my eyes, meanwhile I turned the camera 90 degrees to the left, guessing at the compotition. I took maybe 4 or 5 images, not sure what was in them. This was the best image. What is confusing is that the window which the people are behind, is reflecting a train in the station on the next track, making this a bit confusing. But I think I got something here.

I like the way no one caught on to the fact you were taking the photo. The expressions on their faces are wonderful. It is a great photo of people in the city waiting for a train. Trace
Aren’t you clever! Taking photos without people knowing that you are photographing them. Just another day waiting for the train…
