Going Underground

Had a great week in New York - arrived to snow showers on Wednesday evening, but it didn’t last. The city sweeps you up in its pace and bustle, so I didn’t get to do much serious photography. Took a minimalist approach and only brought a 16-50 lens; no flashgun, no tripod; not even a long lens, which was the one thing I was sorry I left behind. So it was all high-isos, low shutter speeds and trying to keep a steady hand.

Twenty years ago the Metro was apparently a dangerous way to travel and your odds of getting mugged were high, but it’s a pleasure these days. If you’re up and out early you can even find the beautiful Grand Central Station almost empty.
