photo by Evelyne Leveke, via Flickr This is the second time that we’ve featured Lisbon in the art of transit. This wonderful shot of one of the city’s old streetcars was taken with an iPhone — another example of the great work that can be done with phone cameras and [continue reading]
photo by Paul Bailey, via Flickr This is the Gold Line on the bridge that crosses the Arroyo Seco — a very photogenic spot. I like the black-and-white here, especially with the trees in the foreground and a hint of the hills under the bridge. The subject of the photo [continue reading]
photos by Michel Saive, via his Flickr photostream Michel took both of these photos in Poland and then processed them with the tilt-shift method that makes the subjects look like toys or miniatures.

photo by Kevin Ash, via Flickr My obsession with Golden Gate Bridge photos continues in today’s “art of transit” with this lovely image by Kevin Ash (check out his photography website, which focuses on aviation). I like the image because the bridge is crucial to the photo yet only occupies [continue reading]

What’s awesome about the photo is the deep depth-of-field, the small flashes of color from the video screen and the white strips of light that don’t [continue reading]
photo by Andy Teo aka Photocillin on Flickr Subways can be dark places but not in this cool photo taken earlier this month on the London tube. I also like the composition: the primary subject on the left side of the screen with the corridor dominating the center and right [continue reading]
