This is on a Bart train. I'm glad it's the only color photo in my collection. This picture illustrates the vast visible differences between the young and the old, the working and the student, light and dark. More telling is that they are not talking, we are always taught not to talk to strangers, but a "stranger" is only someone we don't understand, someone who isn't like "us" who ever that may be. Though I envy the young man, he is in the darkness on probably more than one level listening to his iPod. I aspire to be as hardy as the old man who is able to be an active member of society even if that just means suiting up and showing up to take out the trash.
