Shipboard, New York Harbor, New York City, New York, 2009

This group of tourists is randomly connected by where they happen to be standing as they sail to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The man at right watches me make this picture, the woman next to him tries to finish a snack, the man behind her stares stonily off into the distance, the fellow wearing glasses seems to be checking out his digital photographs, and the man at far left has apparently forgotten that he has a drink to finish. They are bonded by the space and journey they share, yet each of them passes the time in their own way.

That's why I made the image, Chris. It is a tableau of humanity -- each seems lost in his or her own world, yet all are bonded together as passengers on this journey.

So different expressions in one photo! Love it.
