 After church today, I went down to the Patco High Speed Line at 16th Street. I took some shots of the station, but they failed, the humidity cause the lens to fog. So I shot some more. Then a train came and as I was the only one in the statoin, I planted my self at the rear window in the last car. I was able to set the camera up on the ledge under the window and shot as the train left the station.

I like this for purely visual reasons. Hopperesque.

Posthumous Blue Ribbon.

I like it, but I also know it is hard to carry off a blur shot with high scoring broad appeal. I'll be interested to see where this one ends up.
