Title: Chicago Blue Line Train
Where/When: CLARK/LAKE Blue Line stop; May 14, 2007
Inspiration: You can't go wrong with a good subway shot. This stop in particular is nice and grimy. I was visiting Chicago at the time of this photo, but later moved here and now live within blocks of this subway station—so the image of these dirty walls has become part of my everyday experience.
