The Brakeman is Long Gone by

I was taking pictures at the Train Depot in Cornelia, Georgia, and this car was in the middle, on some of the old nonfunctional tracks, and had been very much abandoned. I gave it some grit for character, then Holga’d it just to see what it looked like.

Taken with my Canon Rebel XTi.

    You did a fantastic job on this, really does look abandoned!

  • Thanks! I bet I took 20 shots of this – the sun was in the wrong spot and I couldn’t get what I wanted because of the glare on the end of that big tube.
