Underground New York: Minding the Store

Amidst the chaos that is Penn Station and the subway below, I was shocked to see a platform void of people, except for this single shopkeeper, quietly writing in a notepad.  I quickly snapped this shot before moving through the mob of people behind me and swiftly leaving the station.  Now, I look at it and I don’t hear the screeching trains and chattering crowds.  My muscles don’t tighten from the anxious buzz of the city.  I see a shopkeeper writing in his notepad.  That’s it.  And for once, I feel that the rest of the city is asleep.

  1. Great composition. Almost looks like they’ve cleared everyone out for a movie shoot.
