   Great timing!

   Yes I agree, very good timing. As if you were waiting for him there. heh

   haha awesome! it's a patented door sprint, with the controversial toe finish. i, for one, believe in the forearm method -- conductors feel too guilty to pull off.

   balletic, lovely.

   great catch
   very well framed

   as the previous commenter said - I do believe in the forearm method

   given the small gap between the columns and the train, yes, pefect timing, but doesn't look like he's sprinting, more like.. braking. hehe.

   read the FAQ, totally agree with what u said about having a larger (more professional looking) camera. I use a Powershot S1is with a lens adapter, it doesn't look pro at all so I still do not dare take pictures of strangers :(

   Fantastic! Looks like he's either being sucked into the train or like you've got him going in reverse.

    Well captured and as everyone else has said, good timing! Looks good too with the perspective of the overhead pipes, the train and the floor leading the eye into the subject.

    If I lose track of the scale of things, this looks almost like a marionette on a miniature stage! I enjoy your work every day and always look forward to your images!

    that's almost like henri cartier bresson's decisive moment...
    kewl capture...

    haha, talk about a moment! Fanatastic.

15. randombanner | April 26, 2005 10:26 PM

    Love it!

16. Eric Hancock | April 27, 2005 12:08 AM

    Perfect.

    i know he's tying to catch the train, but i secretly hope that he's fallilng backwards after hitting the door. ha.

    and i don't advise using the "throw your bag" method. while i've never done it and haven't seen someone lose their bag that way, i'm gonna make a safe bet and say they do.

18. Paulo Ribeiro | April 28, 2005 1:46 PM

    Amazing and funny, too!

19. Jordan | April 30, 2005 6:16 PM

    Classic moment we've all seen but never captured. I think I like this image best for its familiarity. Great work!
