BNA 13 at Saint Paul, Minnesota on May 22, 1984, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The following is from the Friends Of the Burlington Northern web site:
This 60 seat coach started out as an AC&F product for the GN's 1951 "International" train (GN 1115), where it continued throughout it's life. Upon the merger, BN (and Amtrak) did not continue running the "International", and this car like many others, became surplus. After sitting around for awhile waiting to be used, it was given, and used, a MofW number, 968078 in 1973. Even though it had a MofW number, it was used in certain 'special' passenger trains. These were usually trains ran by certain divisions for Boy Scout jamborees, taking underprivileged kids to educational or recreational areas, and certain shipper specials. After it's 1982 rebuilding, it was transferred from a MofW number to the Business car fleet as BNA-13, it's disposition is unknown at this time.
13 / 100 : The Queen
I have no idea why but yesterday was one of those days MEANT to be spent shooting portraits of strangers.
Maybe it was because of me being in such a good mood, maybe it was because of the music i was listening (Songs to Sail By - Meghan Arias), maybe it was because of the great whether, not too hot but sunny, or maybe it was simply plain luck.
Nevertheless, the outcome was amazing : a 5 hours long walk lead me to come home with 22 different portrait of strangers in my memory card.
I usually go by 5 or 6 at the end of the day, and once only i was in a "berserk mode" that had me take home 15 portrait, but 22?! That's something new!
Not all of them were great, of course, not all of them were exactly what i wanted but still, that's a hell of an amount.
And what really surprised me yesterday was the answers i had given when asking "Can I take your picture?"
A street performed agreed but also said that he's against posing in any way so he wanted to close his eyes and open them just when i was ready to shoot. A lovely elderly guy with a great beard answers me "Yes, i'd love that! Thank you for choosing me for this project of yours!"
A young girl gave me one of the most confident looks ever while saying "I'm so not photogenic, this is gonna turn out bad"
It was wonderful.
But this portrait, well… It has a deeper story behind it.
So there i was, taking photos of the very collaborative elderly guy, when she passed next to me. She turned in my direction to look at a shop's window just for a second. The best part is : i saw her trough the viewfinder.
It was just a matter of a moment, but i knew she would have made a keeper, i was sure of it.
Her grace, her beauty, those eyes wrapped in perfect make up, the hat. All of that hit me, hit me real hard.
By the time i finished with the old guy, she was long gone.
I started running in the direction she went, kind of knowing that the chances of finding her again in one of Rome's most touristic alleys, crowded in people, were really low.
4 or 5 minutes later, in this huge flood of tourists, i saw her hat standing out of the crowd. I had found her again.
I approached, took photos of both herself and her husband, gave them my card and left.
Happier than anyone could ever be :)
Last but not least, i had the hardest time ever choosing which photo to post for my 100 Strangers Project. I made it a personal rule to always choose JUST ONE portrait for every "shooting day" and there are 3 more from yesterday that i really like. I'm gonna post them on my Facebook page so PLEASE, go here and check them out too. It would mean a lot to me!

El número 13 es una superstición muy antigua y arraigada en nuestra cultura donde se considera de mal agüero. Hay varias explicaciones, entre ellas está la de que, había 13 personas en la Última Cena de Jesucristo y luego fue crucificado. También se "cristianizó" decir que Satán era el 13º ángel.
Algunos datos curiosos le hace estar considerado como de mala suerte en muchos países del mundo como el hecho de que se evite el 13 en la Fórmula 1,. en Francia, por ejemplo, nunca se le da a una casa este número en su dirección. En Italia, la lotería nacional lo omite. Las líneas aéreas internacionales eluden el número en los asientos de los aviones. En los Estados Unidos, algunos edificios de rascacielos, hospitales y departamentos se saltan del piso 12 al 14, cantantes eliminan esa pista de sus discos y también la carta de la Muerte en una baraja de tarot es la número 13,

Chiffre porte malheurs ou porte bonheurs pour certains, je ne suis pas superstitieux...
Je pense que seules les coïncidences font, que l'on peut se retrouver influencer dans certaines circonstances...
Alors parmi les superstitieux, "on croise les doigts" !!!

Explore I know they are pests at the Garden but how cute is this?!* :)
It's cold again! So I'm wearing a self-made knit dress. Everything went wrong in making this dress and it did not come out as planned, but it's so comfortable I'm wearing it a lot anyway!
