Oblivious, New York City, New York, 2009

A jammed-packed city bus pulled up in front of the shelter I was using to keep my camera dry. As the bus accepted grateful new passengers, I noticed this man, sitting next to a window as if in a trance. He seemed incongruously oblivious to the havoc the rainstorm was creating around him. I positioned my frame so that a rivulet of water slices through his face, creating a cascade of symbolic tears on a person who never looks our way.

Thanks, Mo, for your comment. What struck me was how tuned out he appeared to be, in spite of the human struggles going on all around him just outside that bus.
