What Was Not, What Is and What Won't Ever Be.

Well, I have to say that my participation on WWPD goes down in history as a very failed one. For some reason which I attribute to human error and in which I will not go on explanation as it will be too long of a complicated story, I came out of that event with 2 photographs that will never be. What I mean is that the 2 shots I made, came completely blank. 

No need to say that it has bothered me for the last 2 days so I went today after work to the same spot where I made one of the non-existing photos and instead of making the same take, I crossed the railroads and went into photographing something else (seen above) as a way to move on, but also because the photo of the covered car became now to me a photograph of "what we will never know".

I guess I hope to have better luck next year. Like Sudek used to say when things were not right: 

...and the music plays, the music plays!

Cheers!
