On
the subway platform, waiting for the train, metrocard safely stashed
in pocket...
Missed
your train? Catch one here! Making videos makes waiting for the
No. 2 or 3 train at Times Square a bit more fun. The second video
is from the Nevins Street Station, Brooklyn. The third one is from
the Q Train on its way back to Brooklyn over the Manhattan Bridge
and East River. Play videos simultaneously to get that authentic
New York subway sensation.
The subway videos are part of a project called Quotidian
New York-Click to Enlarge, a camera trek through everyday
New York, and including a few side trips to Baltimore, Italy, Switzerland,
and enroute to/from New Haven, Connecticut (Metro-North Train, Harlem
Line, that is).
I started the blog in 2007, when I landed back in Brooklyn after
six years in Dublin, Ireland, and began to take pictures and movies
with my Coolpix camera whilst looking for (mostly non-existent)
jobs.
Find it at <http://fourlegsgood.blogspot.com>
The blogsite is an online studio for posting, tracking,
logging and distributing photographic records of my travels through
New York and other places.
The blog is a portable New York - a window
onto an iconic city, from the perspective of the mobile camera-ready
inhabitant, and available to anyone, anywhere, anytime.
Check it out:
the complete and ongoing project, Quotidian
New York-Click to Enlarge, is at http://fourlegsgood.blogspot.com/.
