Subway platform in the sun

Is it considered street photography when it takes place below street level?

Maybe it matters and maybe it doesn’t, but when I found myself on a subway platform in Toronto earlier this week, I felt the need to remember the experience somehow, regardless of what it might ultimately be labelled.

The glazed windows had turned the mid-afternoon sun into a gentle glow as it landed on the well worn brick platform. The only other person in the station checked his phone as he silently walked past, oblivious to my presence.

Who he was and where he was headed will remain unknown, which feels rather appropriate in a place where everyone is in between here and there, and no one seems willing to take the time to look around.

This is what they might see if they did.
