I wanted a sharp night shot, and leaning against a post wasn’t doing the trick. There was no other place for the gorillapod than that distinctive tile floor. The sky still came out poorly, but this is far more interesting than I had planned.
Metro stations are naturally fascinating, but just standing in the right place isn’t enough for a great shot… the other commuters also have to contribute.
I’ve always been fascinated by the scale and relentless patterns of the DC Metro system.
A beautiful moment in an otherwise beastly commute. That’s the Masonic Temple on the left.
On my way back home from a business trip, I got off the Amtrak train, and was waiting for the metro at Union Station. An old fellow with a Metro vest ambles up holding a traffic cone, walks past me, places it on the bench next to me, and slowly walks away, back the way he came.
