Photographer, Bill Sullivan, took candid photos of people exiting NYC subway turnstiles. Sullivan outlines the standards for situational photography which capture unknown subway riders in a very standardized setting.
"I developed a situation so that various subjects could be defined by the constraints of exactly the same mechanical apparatus. The scenario consisted of someone passing through a subway turnstile. At the moment that the subjects passed through the turnstile, unknown to them, I took their picture stationed at a distance of eleven feet. I stood there turning pages of a magazine observing subjects out of the corner of my eye, waiting for only the moment when they pushed the turnstile bar to release the shutter".
Also capturing the determination to get home quickly, throw those new 24 inch mag wheels on your bike and ride.
