Very good set. Kenneth. How do you decide what music to use for your videos?

Hi Mark, thanks so much.

Starts with the mood, and how I want it conveyed based on the image being used. Up-tempo would be happy. Downtempo could be sad or contemplative. then, working it and reworking it over a few days so it sits for a while. All from YouTube’s royalty free online studio library to sift through.

Cheers!

Great set of images. It's wild to see the subway so deserted in the middle of day. Reminds me of when I worked late and would be the only person on the subway home.

I appreciate your response to the photos, Scott. I know it's not a time in our history many want to think about ever again. But to have taken time in recording it has been some of the most important photographs I've taken in my life. These could've been any time from midnight to five am, but nope... midday speaks to something different happening in our world.

Cheers!

Thanks for sharing that tidbit Kewtiebird. Don't tell anyone, I've been a bit of a railfan since early on 😆

Cheers!

Man, you must have been up early!! The lead image - the big yellow curve - is particularly striking. really great set and good music to go with!! Nice one!

Much appreciated Søren 🖖🏽 interestingly enough “the big yellow curve“ photographs is the renovated Times Square subway shuttle station that was completed during the pandemic. A part of the busiest station in the system.

Cheers!
