EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Philippe Wojazer captures the haunting beauty of a train locomotive's horns at a so-called "train cemetery" in Sotteville-Les-Rouen, France. The image showcases the intricate details of this abandoned steam train, parked inside a marshalling yard. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the rusted exterior and creative use of metal in its construction. The photograph exudes an air of nostalgia, transporting us back to an era when trains were the lifeline of transportation and communication. It serves as a reminder of the once-thriving steel industry that relied heavily on these powerful machines. The brown hues and weathered appearance evoke a sense of time passing by, while also highlighting the resilience and durability inherent in these mechanical marvels. Through its window cleaner-covered windows, we catch glimpses into another world - perhaps reflecting both past journeys taken and future destinations left unexplored. With no people present in the frame, our attention is solely focused on this solitary relic from yesteryears. The depth-of-field technique employed adds an artistic touch to highlight specific elements such as the horn music emanating from this silent giant. Wojazer's photograph invites contemplation about progress, obsolescence, and how even abandoned objects can possess their own unique allure. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity while simultaneously reminding us that everything has its season – even mighty locomotives eventually find their final resting place within train cemeteries like this one.
