Passages: Feature photos and narration
Here is the link to view my series titled Passages. Included are 20 photographs and narration.
Introduction
Exactly what is a passage? According to the dictionary there are many meanings. Here are a few:
a portion or section of a written work; a paragraph, verse, etc.; a phrase or other division of a musical work; fine arts – an area, section, or detail of a work, especially with respect to its qualities of execution; an act or instance of passing from one place, condition, to another; a lapse or passing, as of time; an opening or entrance into, through, or out of something; the enactment into law of a legislative measure.
Can any of us go through life and not experience many of these types of passages? While photographing old trains at the National Transportation Museum in St. Louis the word passage kept dropping into my mind. As I wandered about the trains I began to imagine the places they’ve been, passengers they carried, and events they witnessed. I’m sure there were millions of stories carried along thousands of miles of track.
The aim of this series is to serve as visual metaphor to spur your imagination and think about your own passages. If you’d like more information about me and my work, or to purchase prints from this series or others, go to Order/Contact Hal page on my website or PM me on Facebook @halmorandesign
