14th Street can be a flurry of activity: express trains and local trains, transfers to the L, and proximity to Chelsea and the Highline make it a hub for motion. Waiting for the train after work one day I noticed the stillness present on the platform across from me. Trains swept by, but even their fleeting presence measured minimally against the quiet calm of these to-board-a-train passengers. I like this photo because it represents the city that never sleeps in its entirety--it is a diverse community of people, places and things, and even in a scene of transit you can find moments of calm and stillness.
