..Renata asked yesterday where my train went : ) The photo i had months ago in the portfolio was a scan of a 35mm photo and didnt show as much as i had hoped ...so she reminded me to rephoto... This was done for a wonderful person in my life (a train enthusiast) who inspired me. Upon his passing it was left to me and therefore very special........ India Ink/rapidograph/bristol/34x24 (i cropped out white sides hopefully to show more detail) 3 weeks time...
