  • Typographer and illustrator Craig Ward heard an urban legend that "using the handrails on the subway is like shaking hands with 100 people." He decided to test that theory by sampling the bacteria on subway lines around New York City and photographing his findings. The results were striking and unconventional "portraits" of NYC commuters.

    Learned of "Subvisual Subway Series" while listening to NPR "Science Friday." Having lived in NYC, I found this amazing! Great work, Chris.

    Staph is a very painful infection. Have recurring staph and proteus infections every month.

    Okay, I've been trying to find the song in this video for months now but the site is too big. Can anyone tell me the composer/song name? Also, this is a really cool concept. :)

    Like shaking hands with 100 people who don't wash their hands.

      +RibbitHopX Even if you wash hands, the numerous bacteria will repopulate the surfaces of your hands in a short time as soon as you touch something, I think. x3
