Overview

A photographic journey through the storied past and present of the iconic New York City subway system. While not the nation's first subway (that honor goes to Boston), the New York City subway is the most well-known. Just the mere mention of the New York City subway will elicit varied opinions and comments from just about everyone--even if they have never set foot in NYC! From a system that started as three separate and competing transit companies, to the low point of the graffiti era in the 1970s, to the modern, state-of-the-art new technology trains of today--the NYC subway has a storied history. While most people are just riding it to get to and from their destinations, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. From the Bronx to Brooklyn, Manhattan to Queens and everywhere in between, Brooklyn native and photographer, Christopher F. Esposito, takes you on a photographic journey around the historic transit system.
