Ben Schumin Photography Portfolio

Ben Schumin is a professional photographer who captures the intricacies of daily life.

Signage on the platform at Vienna, viewed from the escalator. I liked this version of the signage, because it explicitly indicated that trains to New Carrollton board from both tracks. This signage was replaced when a number of station names were updated in 2012, and there is now no sign at this location at all following the station’s renovation in 2020.
