Snow Monkey on Subway

I was on my way down to B&Walmart to pick up some film when the train was halted and we were told to evacuate because a snow monkey had escaped from the Central Park Zoo and was on the train somewhere.

I just managed to get this shot before the police arrived. They were going to write out a ticket for photographing on the subway when the monkey suddenly took off and they all raced after him. You should hear something on the news about it tomorrow. I heard that his name was Hal.

Grand Central, Catacomb

Gum Bichromate Catacomb

This is more of a painting than a photograph. Most of the figures of people were touched up with quick darkening brush strokes; and the entire lighting effect with the textured walls and various accents was added. Oh, here's the original shot. I have reached the point finally of being very comfortable with the tablet / pen. I wish it wasn't quite so smooth. I wonder if anyone has a tablet addition that gives you the feel of working on rough paper.

Anyway - when I first looked at this underexposed image of Grand Central - I immediately got the idea of trying to make it feel like a dark fungus-filled catacomb.
