In the Metro - Time Photo

Photographer’s Note

An elderly looking past the M2 train in Budapest's Metro station

The last of this mini series of Metro shots.
It seems that you feel time passes by when you're in the underground. Although our biological clocks works precisely even when no sun rays hit our body, Clocks are everywhere in the underground, whether classical or countdown.
I had the most luck of capturing this elderly standing on top of an ad for the provocative and international human body exhibition that was held at that time in Budapest. How much time do we really have? I am quite grateful that there is no such countdown clock...

what a coincidence to have the model standing right in that place...

interesting you decided to go for b&w as most of the metro photos are based on the fascinating colours of the stations...

Great shot. Looks like she's smoking. Thanks to the motion blur in the back she really stands out and the duotone accentuates those strong contrasts. Very well spotted and executed.
