    Abandoned Bowery Side Platform, 2012


    The virus had me within its grips. The week long struggle had placed me in a painfully immobile state, wasting away the afternoons and evenings snoozing in bed, doped up on a confused mix of painkillers and steroids. There’s not enough meds in the world though to cure that third-rail itch though, and a journalist in town from Australia was itching for some action… so there was only one thing to do.

    Don’t invite these people to your house. They will paint your walls, loot your fridge and watch your TV.

    You might be surprised to learn that most NYC subway tunnels are devoid of rats. The rats, you see, only live around the station platforms – because that is where the food is. Deeper into the tunnels, where few humans go and less carry their lunches, there’s no food to live off of. That is, unless a homeless person has been present.

    When globetrotting takes me to the corporate HQ in Atlanta, it means a week being stuffed in a 5-star resort without a car. They send a limo to pick us up in the morning and return us in the afternoon. The only excitement is when a meeting ends with somebody getting fired. All-you-can-eat gourmet food helps make our stay to be more bearable, but hey, you have to get out once in a while.

    In 2009 I wrote Brooklyn Queens Freight and Yard Job NYC – 2 books documenting freight graffiti in NYC. While I haven’t spent nearly as much time trackside since then, i still get out and shoot the occasional freight. Here’s a set of shots from CSX’s northbound transfer freight, traveling from Fresh Pond yard in Queens to Oak Point in the Bronx. A typical mix of box cars, gons, and trash cars made up the mix on this January day.
