Dreading Work

Posted by Damon Schreiber (Toronto, Canada) on 15 January 2007 in Transportation and Portfolio.

Monday mornings...

On an unrelated note, it finally snowed yesterday. Not much, but enough to make things pretty. I'll stop complaining now.

High-Resolution version here.

Stu from Kyoto, Japan

Superb B&W again Damon. I like the lighting and strong sense of direction in this one. My eyes are drawn towards the front of the bus.
Mondays: I know the feeling!

@Stu: Thanks, Stu! If your eyes are drawn toward the front of the bus, it must be your stop. (It was my stop.)

Duncan Galbraith from kyoto, Japan

Great contrasts here and an all too understandable caption! Like how you've played with the interiors of your last two shots in the framing. Gives a great sense of distance.

@Duncan Galbraith: Thanks, Duncan! I don't really dread work, but I thought perhaps these people do.

Monday was tough for me too after spending a couple weeks on the sunny beaches of western Australia. Nice shot.

Martine Lapointe from Québec, Canada

It's important to read before all the comments... I have the same words than Objectif-Plume!
Beautiful shot of daily's scene!

@Martine Lapointe: Many times, I think of something to comment, and then I find that someone has already said exactly the same thing! Merci, Martine!

Maoya from Rolle, Switzerland

I like the way the window blinds us, and yet we still feel the need to stare at the characters beside us. You're really making me want to have a go at public transportation shots Damon!

@Maoya: Oh, please do! I want to see you break down the stereotype of Swiss civility. Thanks, Maoya!
