Since figuring out how to make my camera work in low light places I have started to garner quite a nice collection of images shot whilst riding the train in the New York Subway. These candid shots always seem so authentic and in some ways, more than many other pictures I take, truly represent the people of New York.
This guy was snapped late last night, on the subway train back from Brooklyn to Manhattan. Dozing a little as the train rocked and rolled!
I've painted him using techniques that I will be teaching in Week 3 of my Paint, Sketch, Play online class.
I've been spending a lot of time on the subways, rocking and rolling and swaying. It takes me awhile to get my street legs back. The photo is wonderful but I'm even more impressed that you were able to take it.

he is wonderful! when you photo on the subway does it cause a commotion or as in the movies does everyone ignore you?
