On a recent trip to New York to visit Tom, he, Jimmy, and I were sitting in this underground PATH station, waiting for a train back to Jersey City. For some reason this shot reminds of The Matrix. I think it may be the austere repeating patterns, fading into the distance with a sense of infinity. The utter lack of people in the station, combined, I think, with the fluorescent lighting, also makes it feel like the middle of the night. But it was actually the middle of a bright, sunny afternoon. Later on, we played mini-golf on a pier in front of the Manhattan skyline, watched a play about sometimes-lesbian female rockstars, got caught in a spontaneous summer downpour, ate a Mexican feast, and visited the famous, crowded McSorley's tavern. Just another day's exploration.

Good picture. Now I'll never look at my clean, orderly PATH stations without thinking of their potential for slow-mo fight scenes. And it's good to see some updates on the ol' blog ... speaking of which, I'd better put something up on mine now that you've tagged me.
