Grand Central Station, Oct 2014 – 01
(more details later, as time permits)
*******************************
I usually photograph NYC’s Grand Central Station three or four times a year, and the scene is always different. Sometimes I visit during a festive season — Christmas being the obvious example — and sometimes I’m just passing by at a time when it seems that the afternoon light might be particularly interesting.
On other occasions, I find myself passing through Grand Central enrollee to a meeting, or to catch the shuttle train over to Times Square. Or I’m visiting Grand Central for its “real” purpose, i.e., to take a train from Manhattan to some other spot.
Today, I was heading up to the town of Harrison, in Westchester County, to watch one of my grandsons play soccer, and then to celebrate his birthday at a nearby sushi restaurant. As usual, I got to the station well in advance of the train’s departure time — so I had half an hour to wander around the large open area of the indoors terminal, and photograph whatever looked interesting.
These days, it seems that almost everyone in the train station has a smartphone, a camera, a laptop — or some combination of all three devices. There are people taking selfies of themselves, or photos of other family members, or sometimes the constellations painted up in the ceiling.
It’s also common to see a bride and groom getting some wedding photos taken, while hundreds of other passengers and tourists stream by, doing their best not to interfere. On this occasion, there was only one such bridal couple, and they seemed quite happy indeed.
It’s also interesting to see the ubiquitous presence of armed National Guard troops, as well as a handful of police, strolling around the terminal while watching the crowd carefully. I don’t know whether it’s primarily ceremonial, but I guess we have to assume that terrorist attacks are always a possibility in a crowded area like this …
Anyway, all of this is what I saw during this brief half-hour period at Grand Central. As always, I took hundreds of photos … but I think the ten that you’ll see in this set will give you a pretty good idea of what it was like.
