Help me find a cool poster! A cool image that a (long ago) ex-girlfriend used to have on her wall...
The image was a photograph of a man and a woman. You couldn't see the man's face, as he had medium length blond hair that hung over his face. They seemed to be in a train station or bus station. He was sitting on a suitcase and so was she (I think) and they were holding hands and looking down. It almost looked like they were praying. They also looked like they were saying goodbye. The whole photograph (B+W) seemed to have a period feel from the 40's or 50's, but not quite, as the man's hair would've been too contemporary for that time. But the suitcase he was sitting on was definitely vintage.
The photographer was Sheila Rock - a photographer who has now gone on to do much more spiritual and deeper work...which I'm not interested in! All of my googling comes up with her shots of monastery life or horses. I would love to get a print of this image, but I can't even find it anywhere. It was popular in the mid-late 80's or 90's. It had no "title" on it, just the name of the photographer. Halp!

Response by poster: That's IT!! Although I distinctly remembered the guy being on the other side of the picture...So I used the name of the photo that you found "Au Revoir" and did my own search and found this...
Now, any idea where I can get it from a US company??

Response by poster: Sorry, should have explained - Scroll down to the middle of that page to see a reversed and slightly larger version of the photo. Still haven't found a company who sells a print of this in US dollars....Anyone?
