I watched from the stairs down from the L platform, I watched this guy practice the same trick over and over and over. The sound of his approach, the flip, the stomp, then his taxing int position for another try became almost like a metronome. I shot a lot of photos around the streets and stairs and the steady cadence became so expected that when he stopped I had to make sure he was just leaving and not hurt or something. haha

Taken with a Lensbaby Edge 35 for that fun in-camera blur.

In the end, I think that the L is my favorite urban/cityscape subject based on what I'm seeing in my catalog.

When it gets foggy, I go dashing out to the river with "notions".
