In the summer, New York’s subway traps and holds the heat underground, turning its stations into ovens. Only the trains themselves are air-conditioned. I saw this man waiting for a train at City Hall Station. He wears a tank top, which tells us something about the weather. At the moment I shot, he lifted a towel or shirt to his face, as if to somehow cool down. The human value expressed by this image is exhaustion – his hand to head gesture expresses it perfectly.
