I only heard of the Hudson Tubes earlier this year, and also because of a photo I took. It’s basically an old name for part of the PATH train system connecting New York and New Jersey. I don’t know why but the name resonate with me. It sounds a bit futuristic, yet also antiquated — sort of steampunk I suppose.
This image also gives me an idea for a possible series. It would be a daunting enterprise, and I wonder if it has been done before, so I won’t announce anything except for this, which I realize is a tease.
Finally two unrelated items:
- The latest edition of the HDR collaboration group in which I participate is up today at Jim Denham’s blog so please check that out. It is called Morning On Kellogg.
- AppSumo is running a contest to win a free copy of Adobe Photoshop with Free Updates for Life! Entry is very simple and requires nothing more than your email address. You can enter here. Deadline is November 14.

1 Nov 2011Nice scene, and as for the teaser, I am impatient. Is it a series in the subways? Love the idea.

1 Nov 2011Robert and Dave,
Thanks for the comments and encouragement. Still deciding on whether even to start the project idea. Very rough estimate is that it would take 1300-1400 hours of shooting to complete (not counting editing, file management, blog writing, etc). As I average less than 10 hours of shooting per week, usually less than 5, it would take several years to finish if I stopped all other photography. OTOH, maybe I could do it bit by bit for the rest of my life. Maybe I finish, maybe I don’t.
