A lone figure emerges out of bright lights streaming from a subway entrance at the corner of 23rd and Broadway near the Flatiron Building and Madison Square Park. He has just exited the uptown "R" train. The image calls to mind related works by Martin Lewis such as "Subway Steps" and "Late Traveler". This image is in the permanent collection of Georgetown University. "Into the Night" is an exclusive publication of Stone and Press.
