Bay Area commuters, San Francisco, California, 20007

These men are walking the opposite direction of the man in the preceding image. http://www.pbase.com/image/80827460) It was amazing how many people seem immune to graphic advertisements such as this one. It is huge, well illuminated, and placed at foot of steps leading down into the station. Yet the abstracted commuters in this image ignore it entirely. The effect is like a performance. This image was made from the same spot as the previous photo, using identical contexts. Yet each of these images tells a different story.
