365.78: On the R Train
by Adam Kuban
Earlier in the day I noticed once again that the MTA has been re-covering the old orange and yellow train seats with an overlay of that ugly new blue color that you see in the new R160 cars. It looks hideous.
My favorite color is orange, and I also think orange and yellow are nice colors to wake up to. Subsequently my bathroom towels are mostly orange and yellow. I like going onto the subway and seeing this bright, cheerful color scheme.
So on the way home very late that night, I was on a car with very few people and figured I’d document the old seats for the day when they’re either all re-covered or this model of car is replaced by R160s.
I had a few shots of empty seats and then got the idea to place the camera beneath a bench to shoot the opposite side of the car.
It looks like someone here saw what I was up to.
