A Story of the New York Subway
By Kazuo Sumida
From the Photographer: The first time I went to New York, in September of 1995,I found it to be a city of both bustle and silence. The one place that most captured this feeling was the subway. The subway is awake 24 hours a day, and in that time I could experience both the liveliness and the serenity. The subway is a place full of characters, and I was happy to engage several of them. The couple enjoying a happy romance, the hungry homeless man who asked for either money or a smile, the blind accordion player who walked down the platform as he played, the middle-aged Japanese man pursuing his dream in this foreign place as a jazz saxophonist, the thousands of New Yorkers who moved hurriedly amidst the music and art at nearly every turn, most seemingly unaware of the treasures around them. The subway was dim and damp, but from it comes a culture that emanates from the underground tunnels to the city above. With these photographs I have tried to capture the unique and special charm I have experienced in the subterranean metropolis of New York. by Kazuo SUMIDA
