”An artist’s duty is to reflect the times.”
– Nina Simone
I hear from my friends how things have changed and “its just not like it used to be”. Having photographed trains regularly for over 20 years I completely agree. Does the fact that things aren’t like they used to be lessen my motivation to photograph and document what’s going on today? No, not at all. Sure, I am saddened my favorite subject of the past no longer exists, but since I still enjoy trains and railroad photography so I adapt and find a new interest. Those basic motivations keep me out there reflecting the times.
