Photographer’s Note

Whilst waiting for a train to Shumen yesterday, I couldn't resist snapping this guy, who seemed to be rather tired of life!

You are never far from trains, Richard. I like the run don look of this 'period' station and you have caught a remarkable , if suicidal, character. regards kevin

Hi Richard,
Reminds my own interrailings. I wonder how long he's been on the move. I can imagine what a relief it feels to take shoes off and sit on the edge of the platform. But sure he has to be careful, as all the movements can't be read from the timetable. Strong perspective. Light is harsh, but that emphasizes feeling of hot day.

Tough guys, tough life R.
With all the green in the tracks it may be relative controllable how often a train passes - and of course a little macho play does the trick. Anyway fun and well made capture from this environment along the station.

Like the daily life picture, with excellent comp. and perspective.
