Lunchtime Photo

This is the interior of a subway car on the LA Metro. If I were, say, Cindy Sherman, the MOMA label next to this photo would explain how COVID masks were used to immediately mark the era as late capitalism; the Foot Locker bags connect the metro to modern consumerism; and the height of the camera angle makes the human subjects subservient to the technology that transports them.

Since I'm not Cindy Sherman, I will just get a bunch of guff about whether I got signed release forms from everyone in the metro car¹ and whether I was afraid that some of them looked like they were about to smack me.²

¹No.

²No. The lead era is over.

    Yeah, that guy in the lower left is totally giving you the stink eye. You may have been lucky to exit the car alive. 😆😆

    Maybe you have intruded into the subway car for the escape of a gang, like maybe the Warriors, the Baseball Furies, or the Extreme Shoppers...
