The Story
Santa Fe Depot delivered the series hero: evening sun raking the platform as a backpacker walked the yellow line. Nobody posed; everybody performed.
The Approach
Available light only, small rangefinder-style kit, permission secured from station staff each morning. The series was edited in journey order — no reshuffling the trip.
