Train wreck

I also had a picture (taken with the camera on my cell phone) of the train wreck in Helsinki railway station today. However, as there seem to be many blips of the subject already with pictures identical to mine, I decided to post this picture of a typical train wreck victim instead.

This victim was not run over by a train but his schedule was badly ruined by the resulting traffic problems. The poor chap was photographed only couple of hours after his prolonged train trip back home and you can see that he is still in a state of shock. On his round trip to Helsinki he had to spend staggering five hours in trains instead of the planned three and a half.

You can probably see the interview of his horrible experiences on all major news channels tonight.

Almost unrelated comment: I experimented placing a strobe behind model towards the camera today. Worked ok I guess but I need to find a better model for the next attempt for two reasons: 1. easier to shoot someone else than this guy and 2. no matter what the sorry-excuse-for-a-photographer does the result will always be prettier with someone else modeling.
