TTC Car and Platform (Dec 9, 2004)
I read in Wired recently an amateur mathematical analysis of Murphy's Law correlating the importance of doing something at a particular moment against the chance it will go wrong.
Case in point: when you're rushing to get somewhere on time with the TTC, what's the chance that the car will get stopped at a station for 10 minutes and you'll be stuck standing there. Or better yet, stuck there and so bored that you take a picture of the open door track. As above.
It's a fairly terrible photo but it served to bolster my cynical view for the day. :)

It's better than having to take a picture of the back of a subway speeding off with you not on it.

This is a cool photo. I love seeing intricate parts of rail tracks!

u r gonna think i'm crazy, but I thought this was a very very close up photo of a three blade razor. Of course after I looked for a couple more seconds I knew it definately was not. I think this one is gorgeous. the acidic yellowish copper color is great!

Colour and composition working wonderfully here. The white stuff on the lower left is...? (or should I be cleaning my monitor?)

Shellie - wow, you're right! I hadn't seen the razor before, thanks for pointing that out. Rufus - as for the stuff on the lower left.. I have no idea. Just general transit garbage I guess (hadn't noticed that either). The TTC is generally clean, but I don't know if I'd go so far as to say sanitary.

boredom can be good sometimes. one of the main driving forces behind my photography. i like the horizontal/sandwich (or razor blades
)composition.

I am just finishing-up looking at your whole year of great shots in a single sitting and I would rank this one as one of my top-10 shots. I love the colors, lines, textures, confusion, black void in the middle, etc. Thanks for the ride and all your efforts making this a special site.
