A few weeks ago, I was running up the stairs to catch the train. The doors closed right in my face. And I mean right in my face. I was going to be late for class and I looked away from the train, obviously with some sort of distress portrayed in my face. Suddenly to doors opened and I turned back to the train and a man in a blue and orange baseball shirt had pulled the lever to let me in. Now, I've seen this happen before when a person has gotten on a train going the wrong way and pulled the lever to get off etc. and the doors shut and the train pulled away from the station.
However, in this case, the train was not moving, and a message over the speaker system said we were being delayed due to mechanical malfunctions... The conductor walked back through each car until he came to ours and realized that it was indeed our car that had pulled the lever. The man that actually pulled the lever was still standing under it. The conductor then began to interrogate the passengers, "Who pulled this lever? Who pulled this lever down? Nobody knows? Who pulled this lever?" The man who actually pulled the lever just shrugged his shoulders and the rest of the passengers showed no signs of life. Until....... one passenger, sitting in the middle of the car said loudly, "I pulled the lever." Another passenger then yelled, "No, I pulled the lever!' And another, "No, I pulled the lever!" Like the scene straight out of Spartacus. The conductor got mad and went back to the front of the train. The entire train car erupted with laughter. I kind of scared because the conductor was being quite hostile, but i couldn't help but laugh hysterically... and I even made it to class on time.
True story. I know it has nothing to do with photography, but I found this situation to be out of the ordinary, especially for being in the big city. I have always had the impression and felt disconnected from other people in the city, but that moment on the train really refreshing.

I'm embarking on a new adventure. I have been compartmentalizing different parts of my life for a very long time. I am feeling a change in the winds, as cliche as that sounds. I no longer feel the need to separate my creative self from my scientific/analytical self. If they were to merge together I think I could finally find a balance in my life.
