New York City subway trains


The US Open is one of the greatest events to attend. Period.

Little did I realiize the US Open would be responsible for my most popular picture.

As I was walking in to the Open from the train in Flushing Meadows I spied this scene looking over the bridge between Shea Stadium and The Open.

I made a mental note to take a picure on the way back. My friends and I were in a hurry and they would have been n no mood to wait while I whipped out my camera.

On the way back turned out to be almost midnite. I feared the shot would be gone since it was so dark. At that time I was shooting with a Sony digital that had a night infrared setting. I clicked off two shots.

The response to the picture has been so great. This picture will hang in the Perfect Exposure Gallery exhibit starting November 6 and into January.

I'm told by a New Yorker that you can tell which train is which by the shape of the window in the front. Round vs that odd shape. More on this later.
