I've been looking at your photos for a while and never ceased to be amazed by these transport shots...you seem to be getting so many of these quite, everyday moments where people's faces are full of mystery while doing possibly the mos mundane thing in the world - sitting on a commuter train...

That guy's expression worries me mate. Looks like he's about to go ape! Like the contrast, it has a film feel to it.

Oh my, that's funny. The Arashiyama monkey park words of warning never rang to so true. Meanwhile the monkey's minder seems to be engaged in 'seeing no evil'. A great simple scene with movement, intriguing subject matter, and a hint of drama - especially trying to figure out whether Mr. Glum is looking directly at the camera or just a bit to the side.
