In July of 2007 Arun Wiita visited all 468 subway stations in New York City, taking photos around each of them. At one point during the ten days of documenting, he was detained by police, handcuffed and held for 30 minutes. Later in the year he filed a Civil Liberties lawsuit, with an overall goal of changing the NYPD's photography policies. We caught up with him this week, after he completed The New York Subway Project, where his photos from 2007 are included in a subway map, and every station contains notes on the interior as well as of the surrounding neighborhood.
