Back.

[fflo]

I'm back. At work, in regular life, etc. And it feels pretty good. There are cats to let be glad to see me, things to read for money, tunes to hear, aches to ache, Netflix to catch up with, fears to deal variously well with, a refrigerator to restock, and, it turns out, "recess" at work to attend in a few minutes.

Maybe more pictures later, but here are some subway-related ones from NYC.

Moments before I took this next shot, the father & daughters, who'd gotten on at Times Square, were looking pretty excited & wide-eyed giggly giddy about New York. But seconds before I took it, a guy making his way through the trains rattling a cup of change had passed by, and they were transformed. Made me think I may have seen them see the first such fellow they'd ever.


(The girl in the middle's pink shirt is an "I ♥ NY" one, which you could see clearly before she slumped, aghast.)

New Yorkers, however, were just bored:



Like, really bored:



One more from underground:

"I ♥ NY" -- you can still tell that is what is is, even from many paces. the fam looks scared. i actually think you caught a better pic than you were going for. the NYers in the first mom-daughter pic have the same look-- daughter learned well from her mom. :)

oh yeah, and i like the dusty purple in the first pic. i feel as though i read some other mention of that photographer, maybe in the new yorker (ahem, the only media i really read except for online stuff thee days--the only media i have time to read--as you know, subscribing to that mag is a committment).

i took those two for sisters, myself, but you may be right.

it was after the guy walked through that i wanted to take a picture of the tourists. the something having befallen them. their deflation.
