I loved this, but I think it was especially awesome for that family. Those photos are lovely, whether they were on a train or not, and it’s always awesome when you have beautiful pictures of your children. (And that baby is adorable.) :D Great job, guys!

What’s wrong with you? These guys are amazing. They do so many incredible things. One time someone’s feelings get hurt and all their stuff is junk? What if YOU were judged so harshly?

Just knowing that these guys are out there makes me so incredibly happy and inspired. What a magical city new york seems now!

Not only are the missions creative and well executed, they are well documented. I am super grateful to be able to see the wonderfully put together videos on the internet.
Thank you IE! Thank you!

Did you guys get any feedback from those who found out that they were part of the mission?

If you guys ever come to Pensacola, FL, I totally want to be in on it. Except for the no-pants thing, all your work is Fantastic!

Now, that’s just wrong Andy. As for the blindness issue, the photographer was a professional. Oh, yea, and it’s just flashing lights.

Great jod, Charlie, loved it. :)

Just listen to the This American Life episode about Improve Everywhere, and you will be super-convinced of just that. http://www.thisamericanlife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?sched=1329 I think I.E. should just stop. They are reckless!

Hey uh… I’ve worked in a couple photography studios and movie sets in my time and aren’t those umbrella reflectors…backwards? That is, I thought the open end should be facing towards the subject.

A ‘forged instrument’? Does that mean I can’t bring my blacksmithing tools on the MTA?

I wonder if you had NOT said you from the MTA and were just offering free portraits to people what the reaction would have been? Saying you were from the MTA seems little deceptive. I did a portrait project in a public place once using a polaroid camera and just gave the people their photos, they really appreciated it and told me what they would do with the photos (send to loved ones, etc). Some people were worried about their legal status at first but I told them that there was only one photo and they were getting it! People who hadn’t had a family picture taken were really happy. I like your overall idea about capturing the diversity of the NYC subway. It is a truly unique place. Great idea and I love photos!
