Description

"The photographs in this series by Thomas Roma were taken in and around the elevated trains that run through the heart of Brooklyn. They capture pockets of time in the lives of the people who travel the trains, going to the beach at Coney Island or coming home from school, as they look out onto empty streets and backyards or entertain their own daydreams. In the photographs, a man studies a newspaper by the light of a window blurred with scratched-in graffiti, two young people kiss, another couple kisses and eats, a child sleeps in his mother's lap. By the light of this higher ground, Thomas Roma has created candid portraits of people marking their own passages through time."--BOOK JACKET.
