Crossing Oakland





I took these pictures in fading light through the thick Plexiglas window of a BART train as it moved at sunset through Oakland toward the trans-Bay tunnel and San Francisco. Those trendy plastic cameras (like the Diana) that shoot film are inclined to produce pictures that look a lot like these. I infer that I am probably successfully turning my good ground glass lens into a Diana-style plastic lens by shooting through this industrial-strength BART plastic window.
