Passenger

Passenger: Riding the Northeast Rails at Second Street Gallery in Charlottesville, Virginia opening December 4th through January 23.

Inspiration for Passenger

For over two decades, Stacey Evans has photographed the American landscape through the window of a moving train. Passenger is an ongoing meditation on time, movement, and the human trace upon the land. Reflections, motion blur, and weather become part of the image—each photograph a fleeting record of place and change.

This series follows the rail line from Evans’s hometown of Charlottesville, Virginia, to New York City and beyond—a significant stretch of the Northeast Corridor. Traveling this route repeatedly, she observes familiar landmarks and shifting details that reveal the slow transformations of the built and natural environment. These journeys remind her that she is not only a passenger on the train, but also on this planet—briefly here, leaving images as traces for the future.
