Decades before the New York City subway cars were lined with advertisements for niche dating apps, personal injury lawyers, prescription weight loss medicines, and alternative internet browsers, the interiors of many of the city’s trains were adorned with editions of the two-toned mock newspaper known as The Subway Sun. Primarily produced between 1936 and 1965 under the artistic direction of late cartoonists Fred Cooper and Amelia Opdyke Jones, the imitation periodical campaign by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT) fulfilled a variety of purposes in the subway system for over five decades. It encouraged polite passenger etiquette, but also promoted local attractions as a way to entice New Yorkers to use public transit — from the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

 "When I found a packet of fries that someone had abandoned, I knew that it wouldn't be long until it would attract a these opportunistic birds," said Ben Lucas, who took home first place in the British Wildlife Photography Awards' 15–17-year-old category for his ingenious photo "Street Cleaners." "I set up a small GoPro camera in the back of the packet, after some very weird looks from people passing by, the birds started to show up. As they approached the food, I triggered the camera by voice commands so I didn't put the birds off their meal."
