11/10 - Interesting

Olympus XA, Ilford HP5+

I think this is at the Bryant Park B/D/F/M station.  The ground is actually on an incline and the door is plumb.

Sometimes when looking for a photo,  you're looking for things that line up perfectly and make a pleasing arrangement.  But sometimes, it helps to look for things that are just a little bit... off.  With all the work people put into making things interesting and unique, there are just as many things were just made that way and just want to go unnoticed.  I think both endeavors make for interesting stories.

I think about those questions that people ask artists all the time, "wow, how did you come up with this idea?" or "what inspired you to do this?" or "what does this mean to you?"

It sounds pretty banal, but I think they're all perfectly legitimate curiosities.  They all basically boil down to the same basic question:
Why did this happen?

And it all comes to the same basic answer:
Because it had to.
