One of my images has been posted on the home page for The Subway Chronicles, a very wonderful site for writings and ruminations on the NYC Subway.

try to guess who is holding the concealed weapon. (100pts)
It's the kid. Look at that bulge in his jacket. The guy on the right is simply fishing for his sore-throat lozenges, you can tell he has a cold. The kid is just sitting there, looking at what is going on, biding his time, waiting for the right opportunity to strike.
this is great
what a catch
you'll get 100 interpretations of what people think
I love it
Are these comments a little racist? There were similar comments about the young man in the Smith & 9th snow phot. Haven't seen any along these lines with your photos of white guys.
i wasn't being racist.
saying new yorkers carry weapons isn't racist.
the kid has a bulge.
the white guy is reaching for something.
and the guy in the middle is nervously adjusting himself.
just my drunken interpretations at 1am.
No I don't have a cold, I was fishing out my George Berkeley essay about human intelligence. As a photographer myself I would crop me out of this shot. It would be to your artistic benefit.
no, this is me. I was reading my copy of BUF magazine and this guy sat RIGHT NEXT TO ME, so I had to put it away quickly. The little boy was looking at it with me before the middle guy sat down. That bulge in his jacket is not a gun. Trust me.
