They're not always great, but when you find a really sweet time-lapse video, there's something effortlessly compelling about it. It doesn't matter if it's of snow storms, marathons or miniature cities—the medium is part of the message. Richard Trammell created just such a video yesterday. He wrote, "I went out yesterday with a 5D and intervalometer and stole these shots on the R and N lines into Queens." It's a humble project that doesn't try to bite off more than it can chew; and hey, maybe you'll see yourself in there if you rode the R or N yesterday!
