Commute


Commute, originally uploaded by Juxtaposition..

I'm still trying to work the intricacies of this OM 50mm lens, and part of that includes taking pics at random times at the drop of a dime.

For example, a crowded Metro train during afternoon rush hour.

A train filled w/ weary workers, the musky down-trodden, and everyone else you could jam together into a narrow rectangular metallic box w/ little-to-no air circulation. What fun.

But I digress...The funny part about taking pics of random things is the reactions one gets from the people who happen to be in the line of photo fire.

You'll have your:
- pissed off white collar workers who'd much rather not be photographed;
- their blue collar counterparts;
- youth (of varying ages) who are hopelessly afflicted by attentionwhoreism; and, of course...
- Women who think you're hitting on them.

It's funny how people react when someone pulls out a camera.
