Queens Train Ride
On my way to volunteer at Material for the Arts (a kind of Goodwill organization for student artists) I took the wrong train by mistake. Why? Because I was running late and thought I knew where I was going. Bad idea. The route got a little sketchy, and these two young men were carrying on a loud conversation and rapping as if they were the only ones on the train. I took this video of the view outside my window to look distracted and to record them without being obnoxious.
I was so mad at myself for getting turned around, then I looked at the map of the subway network I had to navigate to get there and gave myself a break.
One good thing about being a volunteer is that nobody fusses at you if you're late. Here are some of the works by the place's resident artist this month. It's all from donated trash, basically.
