This graffiti-laden New York City subway car looked quite out of place standing in the middle of an office building’s empty lobby. And that’s why I made this image. It is seen completely out of its context. The wheels have vanished. It made its last run many years ago. I have no idea how it came to this place. The lobby itself was obviously not in use. It seemed utterly surreal, not only in life, but in this image as well. I made this picture through the lobby’s window. There were reflections of people coming from behind me. They are seen here as symbolic ghostly subway riders -- entering through a ramp at right, and exiting through a glass door at left. The primary colors are warm: rich blue walls, dusty yellowish-brown floor, vivid blue and red graffiti on the car. All combine to lend a nostalgic mood to this incongruous image.
