Thanks Paul, Chris, Carlos (I think I thanked others already :-)

Paul -- alas, the empty car on black Friday was more another sign  of 
hard times in Manhattan than anything else.  
... But I understand your revulsion of the E-train stations -  the worst 
place being 59th street and Lex these days...

(fortunately, I don't have much reason to E).

http://annsan.smugmug.com/gallery/6668550_NAGh5/1/426449740_cu6qM/Large


Yesterday, while maniacs were storming Walmart and
trampling clerks (some poor clerk was actually stomped to
death by a mob of bargain seekers! )  I took a very empty
subway train ride downtown to a friend's office near
Wall street and then elsewehre to dinner... at 3:30 in  the
P.m.in New York, there was almost no one on the train...
Before I took the shot, above,  I took this one... yes, I
was the only person in that car of the subway... amazing
considering what day it was.

also interesting (or not) is that the W train is going  to
be removed from the system  - I'm not sure which
W will go first, the really famous one or  this
little train.

The w was one of the trains on what we used to call the BMT
- It runs down Broadway underground - The N and R are
to stay in service.  But Courtland street station has not
been reopened since 9/11 - though the station is lit...
I just recently, for the first time, took this line
downtown... I hoped to get a shot of the ghost station... it
didn't quite work
as I thought it would... but I'm kinda pleased with
it... whether I get past the first tier of the dgrin
challenge remains to
be seen -- I really hate the way the forum is set up ...
they have some many bells and whistles it ain't so user
friendly.

I don't know why I like or dislike certain photos, but I'll tell you this:

I like both of these, but the second one is much more satisfying to me.

Again, I can't say why in this case, it's just a feeling I get when I
look at it.

in fact that particular line _is_ cleaner than some of the others... and 
it was a weird feeling to be in that empty car

Re: Peso - Passing Courtland Street Station

Thanks, Rick...

I figured I didn't need to make a crack about being theraultian ;-)
Meanwhite -- the posting process for entering the challenge is beyond 
frustrating and complicated
which is annoying because its the first time in a while I felt like 
throwing something up for possible profit.


I liked Your station shot, too... I couldn't get into that building the 
last time I was in St Louis...

Gee.  The first is more Knarf than Knarf, and the second could be a Knarf 
except that there aren't any people in it.  Confusing.

I like both, Ann.

I threw this into a DGRIN challenge on smugmug - at least, I
think I did... it was so f'ing confusing I'm not
sure the shot got in... the theme was clarity or
diffusion... guess which one I took :-)

Yesterday, while maniacs were storming Walmart and
trampling clerks (some poor clerk was actually stomped to
death by a mob of bargain seekers! )  I took a very empty
subway train ride downtown to a friend's office near
Wall street and then elsewehre to dinner... at 3:30 in  the
P.m.in New York, there was almost no one on the train...
Before I took the shot, above,  I took this one... yes, I
was the only person in that car of the subway... amazing
considering what day it was.

also interesting (or not) is that the W train is going  to
be removed from the system  - I'm not sure which
W will go first, the really famous one or  this
little train.

The w was one of the trains on what we used to call the BMT
- It runs down Broadway underground - The N and R are
to stay in service.  But Courtland street station has not
been reopened since 9/11 - though the station is lit...
I just recently, for the first time, took this line
downtown... I hoped to get a shot of the ghost station... it
didn't quite work
as I thought it would... but I'm kinda pleased with
it... whether I get past the first tier of the dgrin
challenge remains to
be seen -- I really hate the way the forum is set up ...
they have some many bells and whistles it ain't so user
friendly.

comments most definitely appreciated... kinda having a
loney weekend

ann

all that DGRIN and stuff is latin and greek to me, all the more
unsettling because it is actually in english. ;-)) the photo does have
a nice post-modernist feel (?) to it
