The look on the face of the guy reading Strunk & White is priceless.
This project didn't capture it, but one of the things I used to
treasure about riding the NY subway daily was seeing people not only
reading books, newspapers, or magazines, but within a single car
reading in six or eight different languages.  On a single ride home to
Brooklyn I could see English, Chinese, Russian, Greek, Hebrew,
Spanish, Korean, Italian.  One small reminder that NY is a truly
international city.
