DC Metro

Washington, DC--The subway, or metro, in Washington, DC, is a new one compared to other cities... Paris, New York, Moscow or London. It is rigid when it comes to the look of the stations, which are very similar to one another, unlike other metros in the world where the stations have a very distinctive feeling. Frankly, I often find it boring. Advertising seems limited and there are no vendors of any kind in the stations. You cannot purchase... anything, actually.

I believe your description, but your picture of it is great. You caught the perfect moment with a magic light!

That is a brilliant photo. Stockholm has a lot of artwork at the stations which is a nice thing.

Como bien dice Vogon Poet, has capturado el momento perfecto. Me gusta la calidez de la luz.

I've thought the same thing - I would love to see some artwork or historic anecdotes about the metro station or neighborhood. With so many transient residents and one-time visitors, it would be a great way to convey the story of DC.

Luis Gomez Photos

I am a freelance photographer and photojournalist who moved to Washington, D.C., in 2003 from Caracas, Venezuela. During my 15 years as a photographer, I have traveled the world collecting images for work and pleasure. I have taken photographs throughout the Americas, Europe and Australia, focusing on cityscapes and architecture as well as the simplicity of landscapes and people.

I studied architecture at the University of Tennessee and then returned to Venezuela to earn a B.A. degree in communications from Universidad Católica Andrés Bello in Caracas.
I was a photographer and photo editor for publishing companies while doing freelance work for local and international media outlets.

I was born to a Venezuelan mother and a Belize-American father, some of my earliest memories are of hurrying through airport terminals with a camera around my neck. I was raised in Brazil and Venezuela, and I am fluent in Spanish and proficient in Portuguese.
