Grand Central Terminal is more than a railroad station. It is an iconic New York landmark. For exactly 100 years, it has been the largest railroad station in the world, covering 48 acres and hosting more than 65 tracks along its platforms. Its historic grandeur has made it the world’s sixth most visited tourist attraction, drawing more than 20 million visitors a year. I made this image of its main concourse just prior to rush hour. While dozens of visitors and commuters swirl about its famous four sided clock and information desk, I’ve built this photograph around a single person – the woman who strides in front of the illuminated patch of marble that glows in the center of the image. Head down, she seems oblivious to everything – the crowds, the history, and the lavish grand scale of the place. By removing the vast upper reaches of the terminal from my frame, I strengthened the emphasis on the sole woman walking before the pool of light. Finally, I darkened the image slightly to increase the contrast between the one among the many.
