[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Every day for months, when I walked out of my apartment I saw this parked bike. It was rustic incarnate, and I had thought many times of photographing it. So one day, I took my camera with me as I walked out, with the intention of photograping it. By sheer luck, on that very day, a pair of shoes was parked right next to it. They look as though someone had stood there, and evaporated out of them.

For months after the photo was taken, the bike continued not to move. It is a ghost bike. Perhaps it shall never leave this place.
