This shot taught me to never put my camera in my bag. It was a day just like any other. I was at the Wilson train station, waiting with everyone else to start the workday, and had just put my camera away from the morning walk. As the red line pulled into the station, a man pulled out his basketball and I just felt that he was going to give me something. I scrambled to get my camera out of my bag just as the train came into frame. I snapped off a couple and prayed the sign was in the picture.
