Late in the night…



I think in black and white the photograph becomes more romantic.

To be honest I don’t remember where I was going on this train…but what I do remember is that I was in Chicago. I remember that I was with a really good friend of mine. And I remember that I was only 1 of 2 white people on the train. The other was my good friend I was with. I also remember being lost on that train. So these pictures were an attempt to get my mind off being lost.
