STREET 2nd prize

I love travelling by train. Train travelling is my preferred means of transport not only because it is affordable and environmentally friendly but also because it offers endless possibilities of photographing the passing landscapes and all the changing light reflections on the train windows. Train also gives photo opportunities with fellow passengers who let off their guard in a way they wouldn’t in a public place. This particular photograph came about in one of those trips, just outside the city of Salonica. It is a take of a sleeping woman who was sitting parallel to me, on the right side of the train. In the photo she reflected together with the passing outdoors on my window, as I took the photo by facing my window and not her. Although the technical side of the shot sounds complicated, it was a very simple single shot which I hope proves the visual poetry of train travelling.
