Subway Stories - Life Lessons
I took these pictures of the Red Line in Quincy about a month ago. The plan was to use them right away.
But the more that I blog, the more I end up not writing things the way that I first planned.
The same thing happens with photographs. Sometimes I end up not using them at all.
I've been rather pensive over the last few days though. And for some reason, it makes sense to use them now.
When I took these pictures, I was ending a walk. I stopped on the bridge over the tracks.
I remember thinking that if I waited long enough, and paid attention, something would happen. Then the trains went by. And I was ready with my camera.
Maybe there is a life lesson here. Maybe not.

I find what you said about blog posts and what you intended and what you actually wrote (and when) to be very true. I think the pieces just come together differently than we expect, but usually they come together easier if we don't rush it/force fit them. :-)
Great photos--thanks!

I love the blur in these - so atmospheric
merci
shirley - Thank you! I do like to think that in the end, things come together the way that they're supposed to.
tracy - There is something special about trains. They feel kind of timeless in a way. I just remembered the movie "Sliding Doors" with Gwyneth Paltrow. Great movie by the way.
carol - I guess it's a virtue, because it's so hard!! ; )

christina - I'm glad you enjoyed them! Gotta love that magic hour light.
can-can - Thank you! ; )
