Transportation
Transportation interests me not only for the vehicles themselves, but for the environments built around them. Trains and trolleys move through a landscape of tracks, elevated structures, fences, graffiti, and city streets, creating constantly changing combinations of shape, color, and perspective. I’m drawn to those moments when the machinery and its surroundings become inseparable—whether a trolley is emerging through mist, trains are passing one another, or a set of tracks leads the eye deep into the city.
01
Overpass
Under the overpass, the ceiling of steel becomes the dominant shape. I liked the contrast between that heavy structure and the ordinary traffic and pedestrians moving through the brighter spaces underneath.

01
Prospect Park Station
The dark opening at the end of the tracks gives the station a strong pull. I liked balancing that depth with the bright yellow platform edge and the heavy structures crossing above.
02
Tracks for the Q and B
The emptiness is part of what attracted me here. With no train or crowd to compete, the repeating rails and platform structures create a long, clean rhythm toward the distant station.
03
Old Trolley
The trolley's face is what interested me—the rounded windows, lights, and long rusty grill give it almost a personality. I kept the weathering visible because that history is part of its appeal.
04
Trolley Coming Out of the Mist
Very little information is needed once the trolley begins to emerge from the mist. The green front stays clear while the city and tracks fade away, letting the vehicle seem to arrive out of almost nothing.
05
View of Tracks and Graffiti
The strict geometry of the rails meets the improvised marks of graffiti. From above, all the switches and rooftops become an unexpectedly intricate city pattern.
06
Elevated Tracks
Without a train present, the tracks themselves become the subject. I liked the way the rails bend and disappear while platforms, beams, and stairways layer around them like a piece of machinery.
07
Trolley Behind a Fence
The fence could have been an obstruction, but it became the structure of the painting. I liked the tension between the trolley's rounded front and all those hard vertical bars cutting across it.
08
Trolley in Warm Colors
I wanted to see what would happen if an old trolley, usually thought of in metal and gray, was pushed into warmer color. The pinks and oranges soften the machinery without losing its weight.
09
Old Streetcars Behind Fairway
The line of old streetcars felt almost like a lineup of characters. I liked the way their rounded shapes repeat along the waterfront, with the rocks and water making the setting feel unexpectedly open.
10
Two Trains
The two trains meeting on parallel tracks gave the scene an instant rhythm. I liked how the rails curve through the rooftops and buildings, making the transit system feel completely woven into the neighborhood.
11
Trolley in Profile
A profile view lets the details become almost abstract. The curved metal, windows, fence, and dark horizontal bands stack together, and I liked how tightly they fill the frame.
12
Trolley on Red Background
The red background gave the trolley a completely different energy. I liked the cool metal body pushed forward against that warm field, with the rusty fence adding another layer in front.
13
Trolley with Green Background
Putting the streetcars in so much green changed the mood completely. The row of vehicles, rocks, grass, and red path creates a looser, more unexpected setting for all that old machinery.
14
Trolley Up Close
Up close, the trolley stops reading as a vehicle and starts becoming a set of curves, windows, rivets, and reflections. That shift from object to shape is what interested me here.
15
Bus Ride
A bus ride has its own little architecture. I liked the empty seats and metal rails leading toward the two passengers, while the windows keep offering brief pieces of the city outside.
16
Trolley Cropped
Cropping away most of the trolley made the remaining details more interesting to me. The turquoise body, number 3321, and rounded window sit against the warm building almost like a fragment of a larger memory.
17
Infrastructure
I was interested in how infrastructure cuts across very different landscapes. Roadway, fields, city edges, machinery, and layered surfaces meet in one composition, with no single piece allowed to dominate.
18
Waiting for a Train
The blue light made the platform feel almost theatrical. I liked the way the figures become silhouettes while the tracks, tiles, and overhead lights keep pulling the eye deeper into the station.
