Dave and Lee were both peering into dusty looking bags, brows furrowed, pulling out metallic black objects with bits of glass on them. These, I explained to them, were cameras. Their cameras in fact. “Do you remember cameras?” I asked. It was the pair of them that dragged me into this hobby. They looked a bit confused at this question and carried on talking about the football season that by now was all but finished for another year. “Would Ollie Watkins leave the Villa Lee? Apparently he’s a boyhood Arsenal fan and the Gunners desperately need to beef up their striking options.” Lee decided not to be too worried about the prospect of his team’s centre forward leaving for pastures new in the summer. “What’s this thing again?” “It’s a camera. You bought it on eBay, remember? What have you got now? Ooh a Pentax. You haven’t had a Pentax before have you?”
Getting these two to make themselves available at the same time and come out to play for an evening used to be so simple. Ten years ago, we’d be racing home from work, piling into Lee’s trusty old red Renault Kangoo (or Kenneth as he fondly called him), and pottering off to the coast for sunset, where Lee and I would usually end up pitching our tripods on the same square yard of rock in front of the lighthouse or whatever, and Dave, fine art degree at Liverpool Polytechnic and all, would ignore the obvious subject and wander off to do something interestingly creative with a thicket of brambles or a patch of nuclear green gunge in the shallows. If we were statistical samples, Dave would pretty much always be the outlier, and he’d usually produce what Lee and I would grudgingly concede was the shot of the night.
Nowadays, these gatherings have become almost as impossible as herding cats. Whenever I would attempt to wake up the Whatsapp group, one would be responsive and make appropriate noises while the other would remain electronically taciturn and a general sense of inertia would crawl across the entire enterprise once again. They’d take turns at being Mr Positive and Mr Ignoramus and I’d give up and go out on my own. Over the past three or four years these regular outings had almost all but died, replaced by flurries of shutter activity on the occasional residential field trip outside the county. The team at Morrison’s Cafe in Buxton are still counting the profits from our visit to the Peak District last May. Even now, we had one planned for Dartmoor in a couple of weeks, but Dave’s employers have decided to launch two new products at once, despite being short of key personnel, and he’s had to bail on the month entirely. So now we’re hoping to go at the start of September, when the colours should be a bit more interesting, and just before I head to Sweden for another photography jolly. It’s a busy old life you know.
But on Monday there was a pleasing sense of enthusiasm as the pair of them arrived and piled into my car - Kenneth is sadly long gone - for the short trip to Godrevy. Maybe we’d go down to Porth Nanven in a month or so when the white nights are here, we agreed. The field car park was open until nine, so we pulled up in front of the sea, where we sat, catching up with each other’s news. I wondered whether either of them would take the next step and actually get out of the car before it was time to go to the pub. Eventually we descended the steps down to the rocks to the right of the beach, where the tide was full. Late April is a good time to take a shot here when the sea is all over the foreground and the sun is creeping into the left hand side of the frame. But not so much when there are people everywhere. We moved on to where I really wanted to go this evening. The scramble down the cliff. “Remember that time we came down here when there was an amazing sunset?” “Yes, that was the first time we found this spot. Got some great shots that night but I deleted all my raw files afterwards.” That was ten years ago in fact. I don’t delete raw files anymore - not unless they’re complete duds.
An hour later, in time honoured fashion, Lee and I were standing on the same patch of rock taking more or less exactly the same shot, while Dave was a hundred yards to our left, facing in the opposite direction and shooting the sea moving in and out of a deep gully, although he’d forgotten his step up ring and couldn’t use his filters. “Do either of you by any chance have a 67-72?” We didn’t, but we each agreed that we might have one lying around somewhere at home, which wasn’t much use now. All was well in the world - well except for Dave not having brought all of his kit with him. He says he hasn’t got anything worth sharing, while Lee declared he was going to take another look. He at least must have an image to post here. He was standing in the same place as me, using the same filters. As for Dave, he’ll suddenly decide he’s got a masterpiece after all. We’re used to this reticence in demonstrating his genius in the editing suite. We await with bated breath. Will either of them post an image for the first time in forever?
It was time for the pub, three pints of Sea Fury and the customary appraisal of one another’s images from the evening. Dave left his camera in the car. He’s obviously still warming up. At least we were all out together again. That’s the best thing about it. A jolly boy’s outing to Godrevy on a beautiful spring evening with the entire summer ahead of us, and the prospect of more to follow soon.
The remains of Fort Lee, built in the 1870's, at the point of the Colorado River where a ferry system was constructed to move people and goods from one side of the canyon to the other.
Today Lee's Ferry is the launch point for rafters to ride down the Colorado River.
Thank you Philippe again and again for the textures, the picture sucks without it and I have two choices, either get better or cheat, since getting better is harder, I cheat.
With only three cars today, MNA train KCMNA-07 rolls into Lee's Summit on the UP Sedalia Sub led by an Ex-SP SD45T-2 and a G&W painted SD40M-2. This train is en route from UP's Neff Yard in Kansas City, MO to MNA's Pearl Yard in Carthage, MO, and it utilizes the UP between KC and Pleasant Hill, where it'll be back on home rails. On the UP, this symbol for this train is the LPHPHJ-07. 1/7/20.

Breezing by at 55mph, engineer Ellis Lister effortlessly brings an empty West Labadie coal bucket through the sleepy village of Holden. They took little to no time to get back up to speed after coming out of the hole in Centerview; In a last-minute decision, they had to cool their jets due to Amtrak's westbound 319 approaching two of its station stops in Sedalia and Warrensburg. Although I'm sure they could have easily made it to Lee's Summit with Mr. Lister at the throttle, the dispatcher thought otherwise. This caused the train to arrive at this location 15 minutes before sunset.

CONFLUENCE. The Colorado River, once the blush and pique of Glen Canyon, meets the Paria River, still erratic and disruptive at Lee's Ferry, the beginning of the Grand Canyon. The deep green flow from the dam mixes with the silty clay from unrestricted ebbs at the Paria Riffle, the first turbulence encountered by rafters. Though the anxiety created by the up to Class 10 rapids is no longer fun for me, I do love to reminisce about my previous raft trips while walking the beach. A little fix of the sounds, smells, and canyon light.
This has become one of my favorite locations to shoot. Lee's Crossroads, PA just northeast of Shippensburg in the fertile Cumberland Valley provides seamless variety of angles and traffic on NS's main east coast North/South Avenue. Stay for awhile and you're also sure to meet some of the local rail fans where if the railroad traffic stops, the stories continue!
This is 13R with NS 9923 leading 9212 and 8047 with 7,315 feet of train and almost 11,000 tons approaching Goodhart Road during the last rays of sunlight on a evening in late April.
“Lee’s Hope” is a Curtiss P-40F Warhawk (serial 41-19841, c/n 19503) painted in the markings of the 85th Fighter Squadron, 79th Fighter Group, USAAF, circa 1944. This aircraft, registered as G-CGZP, is part of The Fighter Collection at Duxford, Cambridgeshire. It represents the rugged and reliable fighters that served in the Mediterranean theatre during World War II.
Having left Neff with 40 cars totaling their limit of 5000 tons plus an extra 81, these two sounded hellacious as they meandered through Independence. Judging their speed and my abilities, I made a run towards Lee's Summit for this decent curve just West of the Depot. It didn't take but twenty minutes to hear the V20-V16 combo as they pounded away on the UP's Sedalia Sub. They have a few more miles to go before they reach Pleasant Hill and home rails.
This is where the last shot from Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia on April 9, 1865. The end of hostilities from Lee's triggered the end of the Civil War, though Confederate troops continued fighting out west into June.
A pair of GE's on UP train CWLAT-29, an empty coal train from West Labadie, MO, roar past the MP Depot at Lee's Summit on the UP Sedalia Sub. 7/29/21.
I interviewed the owner, Deanne, yesterday for an audio segment on Bay View history for the Milwaukee Country Historical Society. I asked her what one artifact from Lee's she thought would best represent the tavern in an exhibit and she said this ghost sign on the side of the building. I agree!
I've been shooting, but haven't been getting the film developed. If you are interested, I've started contributing over at Roadside Online with a segment called "No Vacancy." It'll be photos and stories from my adventures on the road with my camera. Today I visit the Cheese House, Lamb's Farm and Paul's Motel. I look forward to reporting back.
University Chapel & Galleries sits on the historic campus of Washington and Lee University. Construction began in 1867, during Robert E. Lee’s presidency of the institution, and the chapel was completed in 1868. Although Lee solicited the project and worked on its design, the building’s architecture is largely credited to Thomas Williamson, an engineering professor, with input from Lee’s son. Stylistically, the structure reflects a simplified Romanesque or Neo‑Norman/Victorian Gothic character, built from regionally sourced brick and stone.
The interior preserves Lee’s office in the basement much as he left it shortly before his death in 1870, offering a direct link to his role as educator and administrator. Beneath the chapel lies a crypt holding Lee and members of his family. A notable feature added in 1883 is a rear extension, which houses the recumbent statue of Lee by sculptor Edward Valentine.
A museum occupies the chapel’s lower level, exhibiting institutional history, family portraits, artifacts, and rotating galleries. The main auditorium continues to serve for university events, lectures, and occasional public functions. In 2021, the building was officially renamed to University Chapel & Galleries, reflecting evolving perspectives on its namesake and purpose. It remains a National Historic Landmark and draws visitors interested in architecture, education, and the legacy of its era.

Opened in 1965 in East Waco and was famous for its sausage link baskets, shrimp baskets, burgers and ice cream. Lee's closed in Jan. of 2019. Waco, Texas. 6.21.2016.
I enjoyed getting a glimpse into "the world of" Spike Lee. A lot of his memorabilia and collections that were in his home or in storage, displayed as an exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum.
I'm not sure why he chose to add this grating to his mother's photo, he said in an interview that it's something he found and decided to use--
but I like it.
It was a challenge getting the members of the Aloha Caftan Society in the same frame as the sign for Lee’s Hawaiian Islander, the tiki restaurant we had dinner at. Leica R4, Harman Phoenix II, ECN-2 development.
A pair of Rio Grande veterans, an SD40T-2 and an SD40M-2 rebuilt from an SD45, are the power for MNA train KCMNA-13 making its way through Lee's Summit on the UP Sedalia Sub with only six cars on the outbound trip today. This operates between UP's Neff Yard in Kansas City, MO and MNA's Pearl Yard in Carthage, MO. On the UP, this is the LPHPHJ-13.
The lead unit, now MNA No. 3300 in RailTex paint, was originally built as DRGW No. 5392, and the trailing unit, now KYLE No. 3207 in G&W paint, was originally built as DRGW 5338. 11/13/20.
