I received many positive responses to the three photos from the DC Metro that were in my recent show (see previous post). The colors here are what attracted people the most. Thanks to a roll of Kodak Ultra Color 400 I found at a high-end photo store near the mall, and to my surprisingly steady hand considering I was a nervous man with a beard photographing public infrastructure post 9/11, the darkness of the DC metro system contrasts well with vivid color from what little lighting there was.

Not all these photos worked for the Dance Of Life : Daily Movement show, but I think they work together as a series all their own. Those above are my favorite photos from the roll. They are numbered based on the order they were taken. I shot them all in under an hour, just in time to get to Rosslyn Station where the bus would take me back to Dulles Aiport so I could finally catch my transfer flight to Burlington.

This was part of an unexpected trip to DC after I was forced into a 16-hour stopover at Dulles Airport. Soon I'll post the photos I made while staying overnight in the airport and also the shots from the DC Mall the next day, before I entered the metro.
