Express Train - Last Stop

Express Train update.

Back in April, my employer (Inc. magazine), moved offices from midtown to the new World Trade Center 7. I was pretty excited about the move and the possibilities for new scenes on my commute. I was also pretty excited that I was going to get to ride my bike to work some. Well I've been riding the bike almost all the time (can't figure out how to safely takes photos on that commute). When one considers riding your bike over the Brooklyn Bridge everyday or descending into the subway it's not much of a decision. In addition to that when I did ride the train I've not been up to making photos. It's a combination of elements coming together. I won't go into it all the details, for now I'm taking a break from the project.

I had hoped that I'd be able to go through my archives and post images that I always liked but didn't have the opportunity to post when it was shot. Time has killed that idea for now. I hope to make it back into those archives some time soon.

I'd like to apologize for any comments that have not gotten approval and posted. I get so much spam now that it's pretty much impossible to keep up on legit postings. When I get a chance I try and go through the hundreds of bogus comments to find and approve the real ones.

Thank you everyone for your support, time and comments! It's been an incredible experience, one that has taught me much about the power of photography and the potential for using the Internet as a platform. I'll be back in some shape or form soon.

I can be contacted at travisruse@gmail.com

Peace,
Travis

I do a lot less returning of emails and commenting these days but I read everything and I am deeply touched by all the comments over the last week. I would have now doubt drifted off from this project a long time ago without the encouragement of everyone that has visited this site. Thank you!

NEWS: This just in, I've been awarded the Photoblog of the Year award! There were so many fantastic photoblogs nominated I'm having a very hard to believing this. I keep going back to the website just to make sure I didn't see it wrong. Thank you to everyone that nominated me, to the judges for their time reviewing all the wonderful sites, my awesome audience and the MTA for keeping the subway going. I hear the music coming up.....
