The silence is the worst. You can’t see it in the pictures. You’ve gotten so used to the sounds you don’t notice until it’s gone. It’s strange how silent Manhattan and Brooklyn has become. This photo was taken during rush hour. This station is never this empty, even on a weekend. Since writing and photography…
There’s something exciting about being able to capture history. Being a writer and photographer makes it possible.

When I see them in a train station with guns strapped to the hips or worse, rifles across their chests, I don’t feel…
Planned on this post being a movie review then Frankenstorm descended on the East Coast. Following and experiencing Sandy, all I could think was this is like some SyFy B movie.
