Yeah, I see what you mean. Saturday I went out to shoot on the UP around here, and I discovered that the railroad had removed and scrapped all of the overhead and cantilever signal bridges that I liked to shoot. Then there was some graffiti on an abutment that was not there before, and the scene wasn't like I last pictured it, so I just thought about calling it a day and going home. > A photo does not always have to be an absolute mirror of reality.
