life passes by

japanese business man waits for the next train as life passes by in tokyo. i think i spent several hours in the subway trying to get a photo like this. it's hard because there's so many people and they don't cooperate by moving, blocking, etc. not the most original, but thought it turned out ok.

Well done. It's nice that the man stayed so still for your photo. The lighting is great too.

Hmm. Yeah. Decent. I'm not in a very good mood so I'm thinking to myself, "it's been done countless times" and am itching to pull the trigger on a delete...but I think I'm going to pass for now.

Michael Shakes says:

Well, you've found a topic that has been done countless times (As mentioned by Sera), and if done right will usually get a save more times than not...

It may be a bit far away, but this one is done very well. IMHO

Seriously though, I like it. Even though the orange stripe is cool I'd like to see it in contrasty b/w.

It's aint clicheed or tedious at all.. have you seen corins photostream??
I think it's been done well and is seriously good. The solitary figure makes it mean something. If it was a platform full of cummuters I might of deleted.

Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing with Creative Commons. I used this with an article about how green stimulus for the U.S. economy would be progressive and climate-friendly, especially if targeted at mass transit and housing.
