“I’m over here,” Depot, Durango, Colorado, 2010

A throng of tourists crowds the door of Durango’s depot shortly before the Durango and Silverton railroad’s morning steam train departs on its three and a half hour run to Silverton. One fellow apparently caught in the middle of the hubbub is frantically trying to hail a family member – his gesture provides the focal point of this image.

You have a wonderful eye for detail, Rose. The contrast in gestures that you notice here, playing urgency against restraint, adds meaning to the image. "The Hand of Man," indeed!

"The Hand of Man" at work. Superb lighting and a sense of urgency, while the man on the right clasps his hands behind his back.
