This was one of the final images of a shoot I did with Megan. Rather than going along with the more fashion / studio look we had been playing with, we both agreed it was time for something more gritty. What amazes me about Megan is the multiple looks that she carries.

Week 6 - Assignment 3. Silhouette. You know...back-lighting on purpose. Tag with cwd63.
Tried to explain this assignment to my mother, and couldn't get it through to her... so, I shot this pic, and then another that was exposed for her face, instead of the light coming in the window. Her reaction was OOOhhhhhh!! And I actually liked the shot, so here 'tis.
Bhusaval, India, 23 January 1980
We visited Bhusaval 3 days after landing at Delhi, our first steam shed bash on our trip. We'd ridden the Rajdhani from Delhi to Bombay the first night, spent the day in Bombay and then it was overnight on the Amritsar Express to Bhuasval.
The Rajdhanis were and are all air conditioned, but the Amritsar Express only non-AC cars. We were in 1st class and bedding is not included in the fare. We'd forgotten to book bedding, which would not have been a biggie, except as we climbed the ghat, it got cold. I'd left most of my luggage and spare clothing in left luggage in Delhi as we would be returning to Delhi in a couple of days, so tried to bundle up in what little extra clothes I had as I shivered in an upper berth. To make matters worse, I had bad heartburn and there was a mosquito buzzing around the compartment. Not my best night on a train!
We arrived early in the morning and watched, but did not photograph (our photo permits were not yet sorted out) a WG trying to get a roll on a heavy coal train on the dew covered rail. Quite the steam and smoke show with the engine losing its feet, but we didn't want to run afoul of the authorities by whipping out the cameras.
After breakfast, we walked to the shed to ask the foreman how we could get permission to take photos. He directed us to the division superintendent down the road. We walk to the superintendent's office, explained our situation, showed our passports and the superintendent gave us a letter saying we could take photos on the railway at Bhusaval and have access to the shed. He also gave us his car and driver for the day!
We rode back to the shed and the foreman welcomed us like long lost relatives with the permission letter. He, or an assistant showed us around and made us most welcome. At the time, there were over 100 steam locomotives assigned to Bhusval and a lot were on shed that day.
Something I only recently realized is that WP 7000, which was up on jacks with its wheels removed and whiting on the frame to check for cracks, was the first WP of over 700. I don't know that any of us remarked on this at the time.
The freight engines were coaled by small steam cranes. The passenger engines were coaled by people picking out lumps of coal, throwing them in a basket and then running up a ramp to the tender and throwing the contents of the basket in the tender.
A big hook with a painting of a tiger was being used to lift heavy loco components. A narrow gauge engine was in for repairs. Goats and school boys wandered through the yard.
After several hours at the yard, food and drink were in order. The shed foreman had fed us tea, so we'd stayed hydrated, but as we had the superintendent's car, and driver, we asked him to take us to the best bar in town. The food and beer were good.
At some point, we wandered around town. We spent the evening at the station, and I got some photos there with the 120 roll film camera that I still need to scan.
My camera case, and old briefcase, broke and I was trying to figure out how to fix it when a Railway Protection Force officer, with a bayonet fixed on his .303 Enfield saw my plight and found a piece of string. Nice young man, and ready in case he had to face down a riot with his .303. :-)
We left town late at night on the Punjab Mail, in AC 1st again and slept a lot better.
It was my 23rd birthday, and one of the most memorable.

KABUL, Afghanistan (Feb. 1, 2011) -- A young Afghan girl from Kandahar Province is treated for burns on approximately 30 percent of her body by Afghan doctors and U.S. military nurse mentors. According to her father, the girl and her younger brother and sister were burnt by a lamp that exploded in their house a week ago. Her brother and sister were unable to survive their burns and infections and passed away last night. Although the girl has only a small chance of surviving her injuries and infection, U.S. military doctors are hoping to save her by transporting her to Bagram's Craig Joint Theater Hospital tomorrow morning, so she can receive surgery and post operation care. The children's father expressed thanks to the U.S. military for assisting his children when other Afghan hospitals were not equipped to care for them. (Photo by U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt.

once again I am a day to late - always traveling around and not always close to an internet connection - but - this would have been my submission for agriculture:-)
Assignment 3. Agriculture. The corn is high, and outside of harvest, now is the perfect time to get some images from the garden or the farm. it's such an important part of our lives, but something many of us are so removed from. Tag with cwd293.
Assignment #3. Fill the frame. Robert Capa tells us "if you're pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough!" take his advice and get close to your subject. You know you've got it if there is no background, just your subject in frame. tag with cwd93.
I decided to fill my frame with this nice piece of ass I found working in my kitchen last night:-) and I am not really sure what is more appealing - a man cleaning my kitchen or the jeans he´s wearing...
