I shot several versions of this, with exposures that kept the moving train sharp or blurred it to varying degrees. I think this was the most successful attempt, with the train blurred enough to suggest motion, but not so much that it's unrecognizable.
Depicting motion in a still photograph is an interesting problem.
Every time I have driven through here I have to roll up my windows on turn on recirc to keep the smell out. It's been probably 8 years since I've been back to Philly. Does it still smell the same?

The question is tho, you could you smell it again just by looking at the pic? Like it evoked the olfactory memory right?
Absolutely. But I am positive the actual smell was worse.
