The Train Story

The train man...
Human is still the most trustable being in some aspects...



Seatless compartment
this picture was taken in a standing position.... prolly not becuz the photographer thinks that this angle is better. in fact this pic is better if it's taken from a lower level...

i think the photographer feels the same as the more dress up lady on the right.... they all have the consensus that the floor is too dirty to be seated :P
or if you wanna think in a more pessimistic way is that they are too posh to put themselve down to the same "level" as others
without seat doesn't mean it's not good. u can sleep without "fishing" all da time (yx can tell u about that), you can lay a newspaper infront of you and peel the pees w/o bending under the seat to pick up the fallen peas. you can juz pile all ur belongings/crops into a mountain. infact seatless is more practical in this situation.

haha....i think i have fallen prey to the general population of photographers who like to shoot the poverty and sufferings of people....and display in a gallery and let urban audiences exlaim in awe how beautifully exotic & emotional the pictures are and then claim the prize of some photography contest. Something is juz not right here....

Hmm interesting observation, but many technical aspects also ma.

If taken fr lower angle, the 2 ppl gonna block most of the scene, the perspective is just bad cos cant c much of the background, n looks like the photographer is right against the wall, maybe no space to 'sit'.. though can always kneel down or squat.. Trust me, when taking photos, ppl really dun care abt kneeling in the mud, lying dwn n all dat.
