Photographer’s Note
They were cleaning that platform with their washboard and their vocal chords, and their silver strings, and their delectible stings.

And here's How the Story Ends
And the train never stops because you got more HERE!.

Another very immediate, very raw, very lively, dynamic shot... we are away from the Land of Bureaucracy... we are away from government employees silently going to work... here there is still a life in its pure raw reality, lively singer girls in the subway. Love that reflective surface behind them, their powerful emotion, Hugh. I love your shots, in fact. I could learn so much from you... this immediacy, the punch... very powerful, monumental...

Yes, I agree with Sasa about this in its dynamism...though I prefer the second one in the series (workshop) over this particular one. There is a degree of involvement and rapport between the photographer and the subject in your shots that transcends merely 'getting close', which I find quite inimitable.

I have to say that I prefer "another number" to this one. I like the combination of stillness and movement you captured there, and the wider framing works well.
I like this one too though, and I can see that it must have been difficult to decide which one to post.
There's just the right amount of blur in their hands and the singer's head to give a real energy and sense of movement to the image.
Good work Hugh.
Cheers,
Ben

What enthusiasm!
Two points for you, no doubt, just for being able to catch the moment like this!
