Another good one, Christopher. I'd love to see the best of these framed and in a series.

Thanks!

Sadly, these are from my iphone, so the resolution is horrible, and unprintable.

You could print them very small, and mount in a much larger mat.

true, there is that option, They'd probably be OK at about 2"sq.

I'm intrigued by the exchange of personal space between the man in the khakis with the newspaper and the man facing him with his feet extending between the first man's legs.

Ah, that's pretty standard for facing seats on the Metro North trains. It's totally unavoidable, and the most comfortable for all involved is interleaved legs.

It runs very counter to personal-space-conscious New Englanders. Another odd note is there is very little if any verbal interaction when negotiating leg position.

You couldn't squeeze in with the woman in fishnet stockings?
