’Twas the Monday before Christmas, and all through the commute,
Not a server was stirring, not even to boot.
The Lighthouse stays lit while the world starts to rush —
steady, quiet, online before the hush. 🌊⚓️

The Subway Mind Game: Reading the Signs Before They Stand

Riding the subway is often compared to a crowded, moving sardine can, but there’s a subtler, almost invisible game happening when you’re standing on the train holding the rail, particularly when you’re positioned directly in front of someone sitting down. It’s a dance of anticipation, a mental puzzle that requires observation, intuition, and an almost absurd level of focus. The game is simple in theory but devilishly complex in practice: you have to predict, based on subtle cues, when […]

The MTA Exit Shuffle: Why You’ve Gotta Pre-Exit Before Exiting

Riding the MTA might seem like a straightforward experience: swipe your card, hop on the train, find a seat, and ride to your destination. But if you’ve ever noticed the chaos that unfolds when the train reaches a busy station, you know it’s not that simple. One of the most frustrating, least intuitive parts of navigating New York City’s subway system is the art of the pre-exit, a maneuver that requires awareness, timing, and sometimes patience that borders on meditation. Pre-exiting is […]

Contactless My Ass: Why Tapping Your Phone Isn’t Progress

They call it contactless payment. Contactless. Like it’s some futuristic magic that lets you pay without touching anything. But that’s a lie. You still have to take out a card, a phone, or a smartwatch and tap it on a reader. Tap. That is contact. Not contactless. It’s barely-touchless, marketed as convenience, sold as progress, and yet it makes a simple task unnecessarily complicated. Think about the MetroCard. You swiped it. You shoved it in a slot. It worked. Always. No apps, no […]

Four people stand on a sunlit sidewalk next to a sign with Japanese text. Each person is engrossed in their phone, wearing casual clothing. Shadows create contrasting light and dark areas. The scene suggests a public waiting area.

🚋📜 Behold, the groundbreaking revelation that San Francisco's transit chaos has inspired a font—because why solve systemic issues when you can design yet another typeface? 😂✨ Who needs functional displays when you have "Fran Sans" to celebrate the city's unique ability to confuse commuters with artistic flair? 🌀🙄

Life passes without knowing

At Arnhem Central Station, people move endlessly — from one moment to another, unaware of the journey they’re truly on. Routine takes over. The phone becomes the compass. Eyes locked to screens, thumbs scrolling, souls adrift. Few notice the architecture around them, the rhythm of footsteps, or even the light that shifts and dances across the tiles.

My own journey that day was about learning — observing people, testing new perspectives, and finding hidden vantage points where I could watch unnoticed. (Not too difficult, as most were glued to their screens.)

The girl in black: shot from above, standing outside the station, her silhouette blending with the dark tiles — all muted tones, all rhythm and repetition.
The bokeh lady: framed through the interior lights, her world sharp, while the station around her dissolved into soft circles of light.
The traveling musician: a young woman with her guitar case beside her, phone in hand, a reminder of my daughter — and of how stories move unseen through every crowd.

All shots were taken with the Canon 5D Mark IV and the Sigma 100–400, around the bright mid-morning light inside Arnhem Central Station.

People pacing back and forth on the train, either go see a doctor for that, or maybe the love you look for missed their connection this morning.
