Legendary rock musician Sergei Chigrakov "the polyrhythmy of carriage wheels suggests jazz music", but photographers Robin and Taliesin Coombes from Wales - inspires you to take some stunning pictures.
Duo Coombs (father and son) cannot imagine their life without railways: they draw inspiration from picturesque landscapes to the sound of carriage wheels. Trains for many of us evoke nostalgic feelings: the romance of travel, the ease of casual meetings, the warmth of uncomplicated conversations over a cup of tea. Talented photographers masterfully convey the whole gamut of feelings through their work: locomotives rushing at full steam, almost geometric precision of lines, clarity in working out the smallest details - all this gives the pictures dynamism and laconicism. Photos from Robin and Talisin Coombs show both old steam locomotives and modern super-fast trains.
The railroad theme attracts many photographers. On our website Culturology.ru, we have previously talked about a series of documentary photographs from Wang Fuchun, which captures the "life" of Chinese trains: unlike the Coombs duo, Wang Fuchun looked "inside" the cars and observed how people behave in travel time. But photographer Jeff Frisen generally chose a different path: instead of watching the rumbling trains, he created a unique series of works on which a toy train travels across Canada.
