February 1st was my kind of day. Not for the gloomy overcast weather but for a well timed lunch break where I was able to catch two locals out running around. And nearly got them to meet at the State Street Bridge.
The meet didn't work out but I got them both, including the HO92 crew bringing the Steelton Local back to Enola with the NS 5619 leading the way past Harris Tower.
Waiting on the things you desire is really hard to do sometimes. I decided to go to this location because I am constantly wishing that I could go to the Vance Creek Bridge in Washington. For now, I'm stuck in Kentucky, and this is my Vance Creek Bridge. It's important to keep a positive outlook on life and find the beauty in your area. Small adventures are still adventures and also very satisfying.

Took this picture from the Empire Fulton Ferry (part of the Brooklyn Bridge Park). Beautiful view of Manhattan from here.
It's just another day after a big storm in Hoboken. As usual the high tide waters of the Hudson River creep into the depot tracks from below the 110-year old platforms.
The images from the series “Infrastructure of Artifice” were shot on location in the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands in 2007, using a large format view camera. Being the largest port in Europe, (second only to Shanghai globally) the Port of Rotterdam is a construct of enormous proportions that necessitates the globalized economy in which we all reside. In an increasingly globalized world, society becomes ever more homogenized creating a level of disassociation and isolation within the human psyche. The photographic gaze is drawn to the literal infrastructure of the port, at the same time highlighting the artificial construct of a landscape entirely reclaimed from the sea. This extreme example of how humankind affects the ‘natural’ landscape acts as a metaphor for the implications of artifice within the modern world. The images herein, seek to meditate upon the Port of Rotterdam as a simulacrum of modern day society and how this reflects upon the human condition.
University of Technology Building, Sydney. Funny how this evil looking building is similar to the Robarts Library at University of Toronto in v1.0.
