Don't worry it's not a summer snow storm! Just the view through the Long Island Rail Road car window. I spent so much of my childhood looking through these windows on my way to the beach; and when you're a kid on the way to the beach, anything you pass looks good 'cause you know it's getting you closer to the ocean. Somehow this fairy-dust effect, of the sun hitting the window coating, really captures that hopeful feeling for me. Here it even transforms this drab monolithic apartment building, with a bad case of 1970's design, and makes it look beautiful. Looking through these windows now, as an adult, I also wonder how much of my abstracted photographic style came from looking at the world through those scratched and dirty old LIRR windows.
