Like Walker Evans' surreptitious 1930s New York City subway photo series, which revealed the posture and composure of an urban ridership of the time, this ongoing series reflects upon contemporary bubbles of passengers' public yet private personae. It also poses as a time-based form of sightseeing, which the Southern California riders, mostly young men in the back of the bus engrossed in surfing the internet with their cell phones, seem to ignore. As a moving travel log, the images map landmarks and canyons traversed by San Diego city bus routes #11, #30, #215, etc.
