The idea of men sitting in their workplace, which is what the carriages are, appealed to me. That and the fact that they were absorbed in their conversation. I particularly like the body and arm position of the man talking, the kind of presence that comes from being with people with whom one is comfortable.

This is from April 2019, in what was an age of innocence before COVID hit. I don’t know the name of either of these people but we were on a camera walkabout together in a group of about ten of us. I’ve titled this with the name of the image from my Fuji X-T2 with 18-55 lens at 55mm, shot at ISO 400, 1/125th of a second and f5.6.

I remember that the camera they are looking at belonged to the man on the left and he was not sure about the settings, and the other man was helping him out.
