EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph titled "Leaving Las Vegas" by Paulo Abrantes, we witness a poignant moment of departure at a railway station. The image captures the raw contrasts of light and shadow, texture and tone that define the railroad experience. At the heart of the scene, an anonymous woman in a simple dress stands on the platform, her expression a mix of apprehension and determination. She clutches a small suitcase tightly, her gaze fixed on the receding train as it slowly pulls away from the station. A young girl, perhaps her daughter, trails behind, her tiny hand holding onto the woman's coat, her eyes filled with a mixture of fear and curiosity. The train, a symbol of transportation and new beginnings, looms large in the background, its engine belching out plumes of smoke against the stark, monochrome backdrop of the station. The contrast between the woman's stillness and the train's motion creates a sense of tension and anticipation, as if the outcome of their journey hangs in the balance. The photograph's composition is masterful, with the diagonal lines of the train tracks and the woman's body leading the viewer's eye through the image. The use of light and shadow adds depth and texture, highlighting the rough texture of the train's metal surface and the smooth, worn concrete of the platform. As we stand alongside the woman and the girl, we can't help but feel a sense of empathy and wonder about their story, their destination, and the challenges that lie ahead. The photograph invites us to reflect on the universal human experiences of leaving home, embarking on new journeys, and the bittersweet pang of farewells.
