This self-portrait illustrates a very specific time and place that is not apparent to the viewer without explanation but is very significant and unforgettable to me. I captured this photograph in the middle of the night on a train between the Netherlands and Germany last summer (2008) when backpacking across Europe with my brother from Amsterdam to Bucharest, where my dad lived at the time. I took quite a few pictures while traveling, but very few with our faces in them. I really like to see our expressions after so many hours of travel with minimal sleep and confusion over changing languages and completely unexpected occurrences.
