Scoop: When Leon Kaufman’s latest body of work--a collection of provocative, nighttime studies of the city and its inhabitants--earns the struggling photographer interest it propels him to get grittier and show the darker side of humanity for his upcoming debut. Leon’s obsessive pursuit of dark subject matter leads him into the path of a serial killer, Mahogany, the subway murderer who stalks late-night commuters.
If a Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words, We Say: Riding the train any time of the day is a nightmare--squished between strangers or worse, standing and risking someone touching you "accidentally". Working late and being forced to ride the train during the wee hours is terrifying. Could you imagine stepping into a subway car and you're alone with this guy? What's in the suitcase! The train car itself looks like a frozen locker. Brrrr. Shiver. Do you feel your lips turning blue?
