The Woodpecker and the Man with the Camera
A fable with barbs, balance, and barely hidden contempt
A Yellow-fronted Woodpecker clung to the side of a tree, working like someone who’d already put in a full shift before dawn.
She tapped with purpose, paused to listen, and stabbed with precision. Her tongue was barbed. Her patience was not.
She ignored me at first. I wasn’t loud—I was just holding still and pretending I wasn’t there. A common lie among photographers.
Then she stopped.
Not in fear, but in protest.
She looked down at me the way someone might look at a spilled drink that claims it’s a mirror.
And just before she flew off—not hurried, not scared, just finished—
she gave me a look that said:
I hope your autofocus fails at the exact moment I do something interesting.
Moral: Some birds fly off. Others leave curses in their wake.
Couplet:
She paused, struck a pose, then gave me the eye—
“May your autofocus fail and your batteries die.”
Sometimes things just work out perfectly, and this day was a prime example of that for the most part. A week prior, one of my friends mentioned he was free on Monday and Tuesday, and so was I, having absolutely nothing to do on Tuesday. We decided that we were going to go somewhere to chase trains, not knowing where to go, I threw Donner out as an idea. I've been shooting Donner for years, my friend had only been as far as Applegate, so that became the plan.
Skip a few days later, NS 8098, the NS's Conrail heritage unit, was on H-VAWFRS. This train runs down the Feather River Canyon and BNSF's Gateway Subdivision, two lines I rarely have the time or patience to go to. We decided that if this was a daytime run we would go chase that train, as I've been wanting to get up there again. The problem is, trains are hard to find on both lines, but with an NS heritage unit on a train it would be easy to both locate and chase due to everyone and their dog trying to track its every move. In the late afternoon on Monday it passed Tionesta, and knowing it was unlikely that the train would tie down, that would put it to our area between 1-3 in the morning. I was right, and so I slept instead, because now we were going up Donner for sure and I preferred to get more sleep for the day ahead.
One thing I noticed when planning Tuesday was that the following days were going to be storms. I knew that Truckee only had a pair of GP38s and a flanger set up there, which meant UP was likely to send up something. However, the forecast changed, originally Wednesday the storm was starting, but it was weaker than expected and would start Thursday. I was unsure at this point if a flanger would head up while we were on the mountain, and was absolutely convinced that the spreaders would not go up. I still decided to reach out to a contact, he confirmed everything I thought, so I didn't think much of it. Nothing could have prepared me for just how wrong I was going to be.
After getting up to Donner around sunrise, I ran into a slight problem. My tire pressure light came on, and I wasn't sure why. I figured it was that the pressure had just gotten low, so I just needed to put some air in. I turned around near the summit to go to the gas station at Soda Springs, but there was no air pump. Since we were there, I decided to take the scenic route over the old highway. Coming over the summit, my friend and I were met with one of the craziest scenes I've seen in a long time. A stunning sunrise over Donner Lake lay in front of us, silhouette of the mountains surrounding all sides, clouds and the rising sun in the sky, and a layer of fog hovering over most of the lake and Truckee. We had to stop for photos as we went along, but not for long, as the westbound Z train was coming. I also still needed to put air in my tires, which I did in Truckee, and then we were good to go. After finding our first train, we had missed two of our shots before catching up, barely making it to downtown Truckee in time. After following it to the summit, we turned back for the next train, MSPRV, but we would miss that entirely. Oh well, the eastbound Z was headed up and a manifest followed behind them. After catching the Z at Norden, we set up east of Truckee. While waiting we had received some interesting news, the spreaders had a crew and were getting ready to head up.
Remember when I said I could not have been more wrong? This is what I meant, but we found out in an unexpected way. At first we didn't believe it, since the person telling us was not exactly a reliable source. He was being vague and really wouldn't provide any proof, so I wasn't really buying any of it. However, at the same time I did have a slight suspicion this guy might not be lying, but was actually giving us some legitimate information. Usually, the spreaders get sent to Truckee right before a major storm, and as far as I knew this storm was not supposed to be major. Since there was a storm though, I figured UP would send at least something up the mountain. After Amtrak 6 left Roseville, we got a text from a friend of ours who was down there, and who had proof, the spreaders were actually going up. Up until that point, we figured it was either completely untrue or a test fire up.
At the time, we were still waiting for the Z train just outside Truckee, so we made a plan. The original plan was to chase the Z to Reno, that was dropped. Instead, we would shoot the train since we were already waiting, go down the hill and intercept Amtrak 5 somewhere, maybe 6 if the situation allowed it, then go to Colfax and chase the spreaders back up. After getting our shot and getting back in the car, it was time to race downhill. Catching up to 5 at Yuba Gap, there was a shot I wanted to attempt at Blue Canyon. After getting there, we waited for a half hour, since Amtrak 5 had a slow order apparently. After that, it was straight to Colfax. Coming into town on I-80, I saw the spreaders running right alongside the freeway, but I needed gas before heading back up. After fueling up, the chase was on.
First up was Magra, an easy shot. Not far off the highway, safe bet, get visuals on the train, and the shot isn't the worst. 5 would show up, then only a couple minutes later the spreaders made their presence known. Next up was Gold Run, and a derailment from a couple months back made for a good shot. However, there was another guy waiting, and he claimed to have been there for an hour for his shot. As my friend was checking out the site, he made a very unfriendly remark to get out of the way. Keep in mind, we had not even noticed the guy until he said something, and my friend was not gonna let some random dude talk to him like that over a photo of a damn train, which in turn sparked a short argument. The guy backed down fast, realizing he was not going to win that fight. Another thing is this guy was far older than us, probably 60s or 70s, you would think he'd be a bit more mature. He then decided that climbing on active MOW equipment for his shot was a good idea, and yes we snapped photos and video of him on it. After that unpleasant situation, we headed to Casa Loma, where this same guy nearly crashed into my parked car in a dirt lot... he had all the room in the world by the way. Excuse my French but seriously what the fuck was up with this guy? After getting the shot we left that guy in the dust and raced inward to get another shot at Casa Loma, and made it with seconds to spare. Thankfully, we wouldn't see that obviously very kindhearted and social fella again. We decided that we would get the train at two more spots, Emigrant Gap and Andover. Andover was the priority, as an old signal bridge with searchlights still on it is there, and getting that with the spreaders would be sick. After getting there it would be awhile before they showed up, but we got it. Somehow, we would also make it to downtown Truckee for one last shot. After that it was time for some dinner.
If there's one thing to take away from this rant-like story, it's that if someone is in your shot just politely ask them to move. I get it the train is cool, but seriously it's a set of spreaders, nothing that crazy. Even then, that's quite the audacity to be rude then proceed to climb all over active maintenance equipment, he's lucky we decided not to report him.
“and perhaps what made her beautiful was not her appearance or what she achieved, bein in her love and her courage, and her audacity to believe: no matter the darkness around her. Light ran wild within her, and that was the way she came alive, and it showed up in everything.”

No, I don't know where I'm goin'
But I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Though I keep searchin' for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm lookin' for
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
"Here I Go Again" ~ Whitesnake
Saw these two snoozing in the setting sun on a porch in the village of Saugatuck. I don't know them or their owners but had the audacity to snap a few pics. The big one roused and gave us a rather annoyed look but the little one never budged.

The prairie-grass dividing—its special odor breathing,
I demand of it the spiritual corresponding,
Demand the most copious and close companionship of men,
Demand the blades to rise of words, acts, beings,
Those of the open atmosphere, coarse, sunlit, fresh, nutritious,
Those that go their own gait, erect, stepping with freedom and command—leading, not following,
Those with a never-quell'd audacity—those with sweet and lusty flesh, clear of taint,
Those that look carelessly in the faces of Presidents and Governors, as to say, Who are you?
Those of earth-born passion, simple, never constrain'd' never obedient,
Those of inland America.
Walt Whitman
Curl your upper lip up and let me look around
Ride your tongue along your bottom lip then bite down
And bend your back and ask those hips if I can touch
Because they're the perfect jumping off point, getting closer to your
Butterfly
Well you float on by
Oh kiss me with your eyelashes tonight
Or Eskimo your nose real close to mine
And let's mood the lights and finally make it right
But you don't fold, you don't fade, you got everything you need
Especially me
Sister you've got it all
"Butterfly" ~ Jason Mraz

The Studebaker Dictator was an automobile produced by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana from 1927-1937. The name was intended to connote that the model "dictated the standard" that other automobile makes would be obliged to follow. At the time, the only dictator that would have immediately come to an American mind was Benito Mussolini, whose popular image was one of audacity and strength, in spite of well-publicized fascist violence. However, the rise of Adolf Hitler in Germany tainted the word 'dictator'. Studebaker abruptly discontinued the name 'Dictator' in 1937.

On August 1919, an aviator, the regimental sergeant major Charles Godefroy, flew under the 14.6 meters of the "Arc de Triomphe" vault. It was then a question of protesting against the insufficient place granted to aviation at the time of the large procession of July 14, 1919 Victory.

Gawn by small @ FaMESHed
The Gawn Dress by small exists at the edge of art and desire, where fashion history and modern provocation entwine. Its styling is unapologetically body-conscious, draping like liquid flame yet revealing with the audacity of lingerie. The cut is precise and architectural — sheer panels frame the body as though carved from shadow and light, while the high, merciless slit elongates the leg with an elegance both dangerous and divine.
Historically, Gawn borrows from the 1920s flapper revolution, when hems rose in defiance and women claimed their freedom in movement and flesh. It recalls the Dior New Look of the late 1940s, cinching and shaping with sculptural precision, then strips that propriety away with transparency more akin to the 1990s slip-dress revival, when satin clung to supermodels like a second skin. Gawn distills all of these legacies — the rebellion, the elegance, the eroticism — into one modern silhouette that feels both timeless and transgressive.
The BLINN & Soft PBR shimmer ensures every step is painted in light, as though my body were being spotlighted by desire itself. Each shift of fabric is a tease, a breath away from baring everything. In this dress, I am not waiting — I am anticipating, trembling on the edge of being undone, as if Gawn were cut not to be worn, but to be peeled away in fevered urgency.

This dress is so much fun. It has a transparency feature and it comes with some really cute lingerie (with BOM layers!)

Wings - Well, since I don't have a pair, I boarded on the Piper Warrior III. This was one of the best experiences of my life, thanks to the MIT flying club, and my good friend Jeremy for convincing me to take the trip. We took off, we bounced around..and we flew like a feather drifting across turbulent wind! Since I have a few photos from the trip that I like I decided to make a series. I hope you'll enjoy the photos.

I had been mightily bummed that our neighbor had the audacity to cut down all the dead trees in his yard!
There had been a nest of Western Kingbirds in one of those trees last year.
I was mightily pleased this morning to see a couple Western Kingbirds out hunting.
A dutiful Mom returns to her two chicks after chasing off a juvenile Eagle who had the audacity to encroach upon her territory. Dad was more than happy to watch the action from the comfort of a nearby tree which makes me think Mom is probably rethinking her choice of mates.

Architecte: Franz Scheyder
Peintre: Adolf Zilly
Construite en 1905, la façade de la maison égyptienne attire l’œil par ses couleurs vives où le bleu, le vert, l’or et le rouge s’entrelacent, et où les motifs de figures de l’Égypte antique se mélangent à des formes Jugendstil, le pendant allemand de l’Art nouveau.
L’immeuble a été conçu par l’architecte Franz Scheyder qui s’est souvent illustré dans ses constructions par un style très personnel avec beaucoup d’audace voire d’excentricité. Sa collaboration avec le peintre Adolf Zilly pour cette façade marque encore davantage cette audace.
L’artiste signe en quinze jours un décor monumental qui commence dès la porte d’entrée encadrée par deux colonnes qui évoquent des papyrus fermés. Plus haut, la fresque évoque une scène de chasse. On peut y voir un pharaon de profil tenant un canard dans la main gauche et un sceptre héqa dans la droite. Derrière lui, sa femme se penche vers une branche de papyrus pour la sentir.
Cette scène est surmontée par des papyrus rectilignes, des oiseaux, des papillons en vol et tout en haut, la déesse-vautour Nekhbet déployant ses ailes.
Built in 1905, the facade of the Egyptian house attracts the eye with its bright colors where blue, green, gold and red intertwine, and where the patterns of figures from ancient Egypt are mixed with forms Jugendstil, the German counterpart of Art Nouveau.
The building was designed by the architect Franz Scheyder who often distinguished himself in his constructions by a very personal style with a lot of audacity and even eccentricity. His collaboration with the painter Adolf Zilly for this facade further demonstrates this audacity.
In a fortnight, the artist signs a monumental decor that begins at the entrance door framed by two columns that evoke closed papyri. Above, the fresco evokes a hunting scene. We can see a pharaoh in profile holding a duck in his left hand and a heqa scepter in his right. Behind him, his wife leans towards a branch of papyrus to smell it.
This scene is surmounted by rectilinear papyri, birds, butterflies in flight and at the very top, the vulture goddess Nekhbet spreading her wings.
