The photograph documents a daily scene in a Manhattan subway station. Passengers of different ages and backgrounds wait on the platform for the next train to arrive. The cast iron columns, wall tiles and artificial lighting create the characteristic atmosphere of the New York underground transportation system. The New York subway, with its 472 stations, is one of the most extensive in the world and represents the vital artery that allows millions of people to commute daily through the city's five boroughs. The image captures the diversity and hectic pace of metropolitan life.
