Superman takes the metro.

Posted by Luis A. De Jesus R. (Mexico City, Mexico) on 17 September 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

Sorry for the confusion. I re-posted with a moment I found somewhat entertaining a few weeks ago while on the Metro headed home.

There are obvious imperfections in the image: for example, there is a blue 'blotch' to the right of the Superman figure. I believe this was caused by my failure to notice I had a filter on the lens when it was needed it and it ended reflecting this budge of light onto the sensor. The framing is not perfect either, but again, I just want to share the moment.

Sorry for the confusion in today's posting.

@Margie: Margie, thanks for the heads up. I didn't bother checking my archive and with so many images in my hard drive I did not realize I had already posted this one. Will see if I can change the image.

Ok, I think I'm commenting on the correct image (Superman, right?). Anyway, I love it blue blotch and all. There's a wonderful sense of humour about it - Superman being so much shorter in this race of giants, and looking so puffed up when everyone else is so wrinkly.

@Damon Schreiber: Damon, thanks for dropping by. Yes this is the correct image, but I had reposted one from a prior date without knowing. As for the image, it's exactly what got me when I saw the figure standing there. In fact, the guy who had it got all snobby when I took a photo of it and turned it in the other direction away from me. I got the pic nonetheless :)

No worries, Luis, it's easy to do. It's one of the reasons I always put my posts in my portfolio - a quick glance there and then I know. Anyway, superman is cool! Standing there at the ready to save the world, being ignored by the commuters. Funny. :)

@Margie: I got lazy that day as I had done something similar by going to VXFY and getting a quick glance there.

Margie, glad you liked this one. It sure was a rare site. Cheers!
