Wall Street Subway
I frequently walk around the Wall Street area looking for subjects. There is an eclectic mix of people there. There are of course, the investment bankers, but also police, construction workers, residents walking their dogs, and the tourists. Walking around with a camera is not unusual so it is easy to people watch.
I am regularly drawn to this subway station and caught some good light this time.
Wall Street also seems like a place of grittiness so I worked on some of the pictures to strengthen that sense.
There is also a lot of construction in the area. They construct blue walls to protect the work areas which together with the scaffolding creates strong backgrounds.
Entering into the area there are barriers that rise out of the street, these seem to me to be interesting geometric subjects.
And, there are those who have inhabited the street for years. Even from behind, I could tell there was a story in the relationship of these two. The gentleman on the left would occasionally extend his hand to help stabilize the man with the cane.
