About the Image(s)
On my trip from Virginia to New Jersey this gentleman got on board at the same time I did, and he immediately set out all of his things as if he had done this 100 times.
By the time we reached Trenton he was out cold. I took this photo with my iPhone 12 Pro Max .
F1.6 1/30s ISO 500 5.1 mm

This proves you never know where a good picture is awaiting you! I like that you have the station board is in the window. I like the cropping, if you have done this, plus being in B&W works, as the colour could have distracting. Well Done. Posted: 08/10/2022 07:13:56
Nice photo of a typical commuter - too tired to make it home without a nap. I really like that the Trenton sign in the window - it gives it context. I agree that B&W is best. Posted: 08/11/2022 08:47:48
The iPhone is wonderful for street photography. Discreet and technically perfect. Yes, your timing is spot on with the Trenton sign. Great story telling capture. Posted: 08/11/2022 10:56:28
Tells the story, B&W really works and the sign is well positioned. Posted: 08/18/2022 23:42:54
Hi Marianne, very nice image. I love the B&W and I think you have composed the image very well. You have a good eye to see images like this. Well done. Posted: 08/20/2022 08:27:15

Marianne, for me, this image evokes the sense of how we are able to blend, mix or perhaps demonstrated in this scene, adapt to our surroundings.
It seems so clear to me this man travels this same route often (if not everyday). He has settled into his "everyday routine" and the featured work captured this narrative very effectively.
One other note: and in my opinion, everything in the field of view collates by the "Trenton" station sign which of course indicates to viewers this is likely a computer train, and he is traveling (likely home) by his tired demeanor. Nice work! Posted: 08/24/2022 08:19:03
