My 'actual' photos were rubbish today so I'm forced to post a drawing. This is a quickish drawing of Ryan Brown of Brown Bread, done for Chelmsford Collaborative Portrait Project & Heritage Week
To those of you who are doing 365 projects, do you find it difficult to start shooting without a concept in mind? I rarely do it myself. I think it's the Type A aspect of my personality which tends to dominate, and dictates that most things must be planned in advance. I did have a concept in mind for today, but I forgot what it was. I really like having ideas to guide me, but I am learning that when they're not flowing or not working out, I need to embrace what emerges as a result. Am I the only one who feels this way? I'd like to know.
Anyway, Happy Slider's Sunday!
NS 1163 leads the Triple Crown roadrailer (255) west out of Decatur, Illinois on a warm Saturday afternoon. Now that the Mississippi River has started to return to normal levels in Hannibal, Missouri; this train can resume its normal routing over the Hannibal District towards KC.
........we're sorry, the number you have dialed is no longer in service...
This building in the Exchange District of Winnipeg was originally an office tower, however over the years it has played host to several enterprises.

2013.02.08 || Goczałkowice - Zdrój || E483 255 | "Rysianka" Katowice - Zwardoń, przejeżdża przez pola między Pszczyną i Goczałkowicami.
Having some colour calibration issues..... after a few test prints, think I have finally managed to match my screen to the printers I am going to use.... However, now I reckon my screen is a funny colour compared to everyone else's! Hope the colours don't look too weird in this....?! They look warm orange and purple-y to me... possibly too much but I'm too sleepy to change it now!
Took a little walk through town today to test out a new lens. The lens wasn't working right, so this is the best shot I got. Kind of like the grunge.
NS 255 ran down the Brooklyn District Sunday evening. I caught it passing the south end of Midway (Raymond). Though the searchlights are long gone, this is still one of my favorite locations to shoot, as the lighting is always nice in the summer evenings.
NS 4418 is on point for NS 255 one of the last remaining RoadRailers left in existence comes creeping into Carrollton after waiting an hour or so to depart onto the BNSF Main.
I took the train from Paris Gare de Lyon down to Marseilles today. I arrived in plenty of time at the station, to people-watch and to write up a review for the blog I write for. This guy sat down next to me in Hall 1 and was engrossed in drawing - his style was somewhat abstract and cubist in nature. It was great to see. He was so wrapped up in his art he didn't notice me taking this. I eventually arrived in Marseilles at 4pm, traipsed around a kilometre to my hotel with a 90L pack and then, after cleaning up, went off to explore.

After hours of no activity, NS let loose a barrage of four westbounds from Decatur in the late afternoon. The first train out was Roadrailer #255, seen here passing the city park in Riverton with the "CO" giving me a friendly wave. Behind #255 were D37, D79, and #145.

Happy 30th birthday, @MikeNiz! Birthday celebrations this year had about 6 different ways that they could have gone, and at the last second, everything fell into place (but we're talking backup plans of backup plans of backup plans here). Everything turned out great - from surprise lunch with friends, to hotel with a view (who knew the Holiday Inn would be so awesome!), to an amazing dinner (at a chef's table, IN the kitchen) at an amazing place in Chicago called El Ideas.
Seriously, though.
It was epic and amazing and we got to chat to the chefs and ask them questions and learned about the owner's kids and ate ice cream made with liquid nitrogen (that was combined with potatoes that was supposed to mimic dipping french fries in a Wendy's frosty). Mind blown.
