Minimalistic, twitchy Flash animations made by a photographer on the Red Line. I find them at once annoying and compelling. I like how this one or even this one have the looping consistency of bizarro-world webcams. (The site also features similar animations made with other cities' subways, including London's and Tokyo's.)

Yeah, I don't know how I'd feel about a stranger taking my picture, especially if the context doesn't explain a photographer's presence, as is the case in an everyday subway ride. I know I definitely avoid photographing people, when I take pictures in public.

(I wish I could use the verb "shooting" without people making dumb jokes about it. I learned the verb in the newsroom, and can be much more convenient than "taking a picture of" or "photographing". But people without news experience go "?!" whenever I offhandedly mention shooting people or things, so I avoid it now. Alas)
