hey! why do you like subway underground images so much? just curious! love your blog by the way!!

thanks for the love anon!

and i’m not entirely sure at what attracts me to subway tunnels and underground trains. (though i love trains in general) growing up in LA didn’t really allow for an exposure to trains, so when i went to London for few months last year i fell in love with the tube. i was fascinated by it. i loved it’s convenience and how it was such a technological feat. i loved the loud electric, chunky sound it makes on the rails. but i especially loved people watching on the train; how it was an entirely different set of rules and behaviors just because a bunch of strangers are stuck together in metal car, going at breakneck speeds hurdling into the darkness. the fleeting moments between people on the tube were my favorite. a space entirely defined by humans…

maybe i’m romanticizing the subway a bit but all i know is that i want to visit more of them.
