Patrick Cashin’s photographs, taken from high above and deep below the New York City Transit system, offer a unique perspective that takes full advantage of a skilled eye and unparalleled access. During his 20 years as MTA’s official #photographer, Cashin captured countless images that tell a story of the bridges and tunnels that few know. In a notable image currently on view in his Lightbox exhibition at the Bowling Green (4,5) station, a falcon sits majestically atop the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. Another image from an earlier exhibition, reveals an early stage of Second Avenue Subway tunnel construction.

Celebrating the retirement of #PatrickCashin, after 20 years as MTA photographer. Apart from documenting the entirety of the transit system, Patrick has beautifully captured the @mtaartsdesign program through all stages of projects, from installations to station openings, and through special events like #MTAMusic Auditions. His photographs of #MTA Capital Projects were featured in a Lightbox exhibition “Breaking Ground” at the Bowling Green station in 2015. Here are a few of our favorite images from Patrick's extensive body of work with #MTAArts. Patrick, thank you for your talent and dedication. It has been an incredible gift to see the MTA system through your eyes. We will miss working with you!

"Vantage Points: Rarely seen vistas captured from the unique perspective of former MTA Photographer Patrick Cashin," the new Lightbox Photography exhibition now on view at the Bowling Green (4,5) station, offers a glimpse into the singular perspective of an individual who spent 20 years immersed in every aspect of the transit system, visually documenting @mta locations, projects and milestones. The seven large-scale photographs in this exhibit trace Cashin’s photographic journey, from his ascent to the highest points of the city’s bridges to the green pastures of the @mtametronorth region. Some of his most striking images come from the quiet moments with nature, or views from areas of the system that were off-limits to most people. #PatrickCashin approached each scenario not just as a documentary opportunity but also by artfully bringing a human connection and two decades of experience to each image, capturing the details, climate and environment of his surroundings.

Thank you to @griffin_editions and @kodakalaris for generously sponsoring this exhibit.

This New York Times article features the extraordinary, and recently retired, MTA photographer #PatrickCashin, who has captured countless rarely seen views of the transit system. With a keen eye for composition, he skillfully documented the MTA from the caverns of subway tunnels, to the spires of bridges, construction zones, maintenance sites, special events, and the Transit workers who make it all happen. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/10/nyregion/nyc-subway-photos.html
