Photo by myself on the platform of the Atlantic/Pacific subway station.
Just about everyone immerses him or herself in a handheld device during the daily commute. People were reading their Kindles, playing shoot-em-up games and listening to music Tuesday evening.
As you can see, all Brooklynites look like they shop at The Gap. The prevailing aesthetic is 'non-descript comfy'.
Once in a blue moon, you will spot someone in a fashion color or a suit.

bien vu tous les gens sur le quai avec leurs portables (ou autres), c'etait un FLASH-MOB ;o))
I love taking the subway! All those different people together... it's cool to see how different everyone is.
Universal images! Just got back from Japan and this is exactly the same as there!!
Ha, this is a GREAT photo!! All eyes down! I must admit I bought a Kindle and have downloaded my first book on global wireless! What fun.
Very busy people! Nobody is talking!
I'd fit right in, checking my Blackberry - gotta check my emails and my twitter and my blog!
that is the norm, I see this all the time and I do stop at this station a lot
is it just me or do you seem to be photographing places I've been? it's a coincident of cause, but sometimes it makes me wonder how people can be going in the same direction but never knew it
What a hysterical shot of everyone in the universal handheld device pose! Already thumbs have replaced the index finger as the most agile digit. I wonder if we will eventually evolve to have a naturally curved spine to better accommodate texting etcetera.
i hadn't noticed the lack of color and style until you pointed it out - your really captured the collective intropection!
it's amazing all the noses buried in electronic devices
it's amazing how so many strangers so close together can be so absorbed in their own worlds.
great photo Kitty.
