If you take 10,000 or more photos, you just have to get one or two good ones!

Thanks

Lion,

    The treatment is wonderful in the transformation, but the original compositions are what make it all special. There should be a book.... J.R.

A photographic opportunity that only comes along once in a 'coons-age!

Wink So, just what exactly is the 'coon's age?

no rats...I am shocked. I would think for sure, with all of the photos posted we would have caught a glimpse of a rat or two...their little red eys glimmering...rats, the system is full of them. You got Day-Walking coons in Queens, and rats underground in Manhattan...I can almost smell the urine in some of those shots...ahh summer in the city...I miss those days.

Thanks, I like that one too.

We have a Xerox color laser printer that can do 11x17s. I tried one last night, and it looked real good.

I could probably take the file to Walmart and get an even larger photo.

I love that Harlem shot! It would actually make a nice wall print for anyone into city architecture. The repetitive yet different older buildings near trackside with the wall of later larger buildings behind gives a unique perspective.

42nd Street, Manhattan (IRT)

[Directly in front of me is the 7th Avenue Local Track, Joining it on the right is an access track to the Grand Central Shuttle, and what was formerly part of the original subway. Tunnel ways seen above are where the original tracks of the subway were located before the extensions to the IRT were built.]

So far I enjoy these two the most; something about looking deeper into the underground system and what the alteration of the colors did makes them very striking...

As a guess you would have taken what is now the (J) train from Jamaica Avenue, change to the now long-gone Myrtle Elevated and would have ended up somewhere near by (I think--not knowing exactly where Ebbets Field was exactly)

Hey, Lion- What train did I take to get to Ebbets Field to see the Dodgers coming from Jamaica,L.I. ?? I don't remember as that was back about 1950/51.
