It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

Stranger on the Train
I am just being melodramatic here. We took a late train out of Penn Station, and when we were nearly to Port Washington, our destination. I noticed the profile of someone in the seat ahead of us, as seen through the new molded plastic seats and the fancy curved vinyl seat and back cushions. So I took a couple of frames. I like that at first you are not sure what you are seeing. It might be someone wearing some futuristic head gear. But it is not - it's just a stranger on the train. That was a movie, right?
Wow! This photo is amazing. The image, the composition, the colors and the simplicity make this a very interesting shot. Very cool stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jas:
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate your comments!
Sorry for being a wiseacre about the Italian flour... :-).
I think we will have to order it online, but I need to check.
Love this shot - what a great abstract. Even though it's something many of us see on a regular or even daily basis, I would not have figured it out without your narrative.
