14879 - The photographer of the past

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Vicky Baklessi

One of the passengers got up. He had photography equipment and went to set it at the end of the wagon. At that point he found himself near the Lady with the strange hat who avoided facing his gaze. She pretended that she was absorbed by the landscapes that had started their voyage. The photographer understood something but he continued his job as if nothing had happened. He had received permission from the service authority, to record the last voyage of his own. He also had closed down his studio, because they had explained to him that he had to leave. The law was hard but it was the law, it is what they had said to him in Andrianoupolis. So he had decided to leave with his family from his paternal home. But at the same time he decided to capture these moments, so that everyone would not forget this crime of the exchange. This way he became a witness to all the events that followed.
