Stephen is my personal favorite, but they all are good.

Love Joan Powers' Subway Series Down Under. Especially the last image in the group.
Joan Powers' work is powerful and insightful! I am always in awe of the images she captures.
All the images in this group were interesting.
I especially appreciated the black and white images. Stephen's bridges remind me of the Tacoma Narrows scene -- the mood was very real. I enjoyed his way of "seeing".
However, the images which had the most impact and communicated the greatest connection to the subject were for me the beautifully presented images by Joan Powers of the New York subway experience. The candid images shot in the subway cars spontaneously capture activites and moods of tavellers in this busy, impersonal environment. I felt like I was there. The serious musician, outside the subway car, but still in the underground world, is part of the atmosphere. He is sometimes appreciated but often ignored. The newspaper carried by a moving annonymous person somewhere in the underground is characteristic of subway riders. These few images speak volumes about the "down under" world. BRAVO
Joan Powers' Subway Series Down Under is a true testament to finding beauty in the everyday experience. Her unique camera angles and use of contrasting lines and shapes converts the somewhat mundane world of subway life into a new, refreshed perspective.
I rode the subways in NYC from 1966 to 1970, every day. Joan Power's work takes me back (some things never change). I love the two young women with such (subway) expressive faces! And the newspaper en route is SO much IT.
Joan Powers is a marvelous photographer, her series is just wonderful and we vote for her. Just love her photography.
Joan Powers' series is marvelous. Please vote it number one for me. She is a wonderful photographer.
Joan Power's series is marvelous, it is by far my favorite. She is a wonderful photographer, and her DOWN UNDER series is very exciting
I just love the Subway Series Down Under. Joan Power's work is so intimate and alive.
The "Down Under " series photographed by Joan Powers caught me unaware that my voyeuristic personality lies just beneath my prurient photographic and imaginative need....Thank you Camera Arts and thank you Ms. Powers........Richard Stein
