They saw the camera and through its viewfinder I saw them freeze and pose for a photo. I clicked the shutter, took their photo, then they walked on past me. As they floated silently past, I uttered a thankyou to the husband, but neither acknowledged my presence. No sooner had they passed than the recorded photo came up on the camera, railway carriages at a station platform but no people. I assumed the camera must have recorded the scene as it was a few moments later after they had moved out of frame, so I turned, to ask them if they would mind me taking another shot. But they had disappeared, never to be seen again!
Alex! What a story!

At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.
