Hi Casper,
I was about to write down my words under this one, but today i found that it had disapperaed! Finally you show it again, thanks :)

While travelleing in public transports, i also watch people's faces: people packed up like dead souls (homage to gogol), each one with different stories of a small piece of life: when watching them as a big picture from outer space, as a "bunch", those lives look so unimportant and miserable in the endlessness of our universe, this one or that, doesn't matter; but when watching them from ground level, as being one of them, i feel the power of so many stories coming together, dramas, tragedies, vudevilles or humoresques. Life is never equal to us, but that moment, in that train or bus, we come together to equalize, at least for ten minutes or maybe half an hour of trip. Then the synergy disappers, and forms again, when the new group of passangers gather again and again and again...

All at all, we are all passengers on this huge (or tiny) turning ball called "the world", we get in and out for a travelling time called "life". I could start writing down a novel about it, but i am too much a tiny element on earth to do this. Your photo makes it shortcut. This is the beauty of photography...

All the best,
Deniz

Hello Casper,

This is a very universal, but not common, photography.
It cld have been done everywhere, in Paris, Warsaw, Rome or Moscow. People look the same, the same faces and behaviours. We are both so different and so similar. That`s the way I feel looking at yr photo, that is technically perfect of course.
best regards
Joanna

Casper,
Good to see you posting again after awhile. I actually really like this shot. it depict exactly what I have seen when I was in London last time. While we are in a very confine space with so many people, not an inch away from each other, yet, everyone is so distance, in their own world and the faces are just very tire. I have never feel so lonely with so many people around me. Black and white is perfect for this shot. Happy New Year to you and your family.

Way

Hi Casper,
Very bold and excellent capture. I have been tempted to shoot when on the peak hour trains here in Brisbane but am not game, maybe I need to be subtle. I am curious of you technique on how to shoot like this.
I love the moement and the expressions. The B&W is just great as well.
Regards
Justin

Hi Casper.

Great picture and fantastic daily life photo. The black and white was a great choice too.

Regards.

Good street photography is scarce in these pages, but this photo definitely belongs to that category. Black is as black as it must be.
It has many messages.

Hi Casper

Apparently, you're a humanist photograph. This picture, everybody has seen it at least once in his life in a bus, train or metro, but taking it is another thing! I like the different attitudes, everyone in his own world, not exchanging a word with the neighbour.
A superb B&W daily life atmosphere.
spend a good sunday
