17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Subway at dawn

The New York City subway at dawn was taken one early morning last winter on my way home from an overnight shift at work. I was attracted to the light of the subway station reflected on the subway car, which looks like the coil inside a lightbulb, as well as the linearity of the subway and the tracks. The photo evokes the feelings of coldness and isolation that may be felt in the largest American city.
