"Our life is a constant journey from birth to death. The landscape changes, the people change but the train keeps moving. Life is the train, not the station."




I have always been fascinated with the way in which people lived before the invention of electricity, the automobile and the telephone to name but a few things which we modern day children take for granted on a daily basis. This, combined with my obsession over "vintage styled" objects (such as the suitcase depicted in the image above) and old fashioned clothing lead to the creation of this photograph. The concept behind this photograph came from the idea of trying to portray a young woman who was waiting for a train to come and take her away from the problems she was facing in her life. Sadly, the train was never to arrive and she would be left, waiting, hoping that it would, but is left with nothing but disappointment.
