Fact: police officers in borderline tactical gear do not like people taking pictures of empty Metra train platforms. Not that I blame them for finding it “peculiar”. But the strange ambiance of the oversized architectural scale and eerie tungsten lights have always had me wanting to shoot photos at Ogilvie. So I took out my G11 and snapped a few shots while waiting for a friend’s train to roll in.
Hopefully the officers are checking out these photos. I gave them a business card, and while I don’t think they were particularly interested in my work (“Hey this card would make a great coffee stirrer!”), I do appreciate the work they do.
