Rider Entry: Perv

Our Rider Entry today is thanks to @JMcNamara78. There are just too many things to write about this picture. I dont even know where to start. How about those yellow flip glasses? Just those alone would be worthy of an N Train Gossip entry. But then you throw in the lingerie mag he is reading, the huge bulge in his pants from the lingerie mag, and the fact that he isnt wearing any shoes- and its almost too much to handle. I mean… he is DEEP into that magazine. And clearly has no problem showing his excitement for it either. But hey… at least he figured out how to get his very own seat on the N train.

Identity Theft Made Easy

I don’t know who is the bigger asshole here. The man for fully opening up his laptop and just getting to work. Or the guy who stared at his screen without blinking for like 10 whole minutes. Lets face it… people are nosey on the train. Don’t believe me? Then check out this guy. So who’s the bigger dick? The guy who is blatantly reading and examining every single word of someone else’s bidniz? Or is it the guy who sets up his own personal office for all of NY to view at their own leisure?

Its purse organizing time!

I can fully understand that urge to organize everything I can get my hands on. There’s nothing more rewarding than that feeling of “Ahhhh… I know where everything is.” Its basically what I do every Saturday. At home. In my apartment. (which is not on the train)

It’s not even so much the organizing of her bag that is what puzzles me. The train was empty so its not like she was taking up an obnoxious amount of space when space is needed. On the rudeness scale of 1-10 (1 = not rude / 10 = a total douche), I would rank this situation somewhere around a 2. But it boggles my mind that she’s not even a little concerned that someone could literally just take what they want out of her hand and walk right out of the train. Wallet? Keys? Condoms? ANYTHING!

Unused Shot: The Bangless

Last week I posted an image with the caption “Haircuts on the N train are half off, and apparently, bangs are totally out this year.” And here was an image from that series that didnt make the cut (excuse the pun). As soon as I got on the train and sat down, I saw this girl and instantly stood up because I knew I needed to get a shot of this rare, bangless creature. I was actually sitting next to her, with a person in between us. But as soon as I saw that glorious exposed head, I knew I had to take action.

Normally when I take pictures of people in the train, I do the same thing I tell people they should do all the time when taking any kind of pictures. Take multiple shots of the same thing. Because one always ends up better than another. Even the slightest movement can make a picture a million times better. And this is a perfect example. No, her eyes did not have those Marilyn Manson contacts in them. It was just timing of the image. And while I loved this shot, it would have brought wayyyy too much attention to her freaky ass eyes and none to her freaky ass haircut.

“..with the beard. Yeah YOU! There’s no train!”

Guest Line: C/E platform

I just saw this on SubwayArtBlog.com. It may be my new favorite video on the internets.

Tease of Next Weeks Video Edition

“Welcome to the show!”
The performance I saw on my way home tonight, was pure brilliance. Subway performers everywhere have just been served. By children. Their off beat clapping should clue you in to the amount of experience. But don’t fret. It only makes it that much better.
