“..reading a book doesn’t mean just turning the pages. It means thinking about it, identifying parts that you want to go back to, asking how to place it in a broader context, pursuing the ideas. There’s no point in reading a book if you let it pass before your eyes and then forget about it ten minutes later. Reading a book is an intellectual exercise, which stimulates thought, questions, imagination.” ~Occupy

Reading Pacific by dscharen

Norfolk Southern 1067, the Reading Heritage Unit, is in charge of manifest train MG3AH as it rolls past the famous JB Tower in West Chicago, IL, on this very cold and windy April afternoon. Prior to 2022, foreign leaders had been forbidden on the Union Pacifc's Geneva Sub due to ATC Cab Signal requirements. Once PTC went into full effect on the Geneva, then it became anything goes. While foreign leaders are still rare, they do happen with a decent frequency. Rarer still though is catching a foreign Heritage Unit, such as 1067 here. I believe this was the unit's 2nd round trip leading on the Geneva since PTC started, but what makes this trip special is 1067 is looking resplendent having emerged from the paint shop just days before, and is on one of its first revenue runs after being cleared for service.

Since I am home most of the time now, I am looking for things around the house to shoot. These are my reading glasses.

Reading Power Move by Doug Lilly

The weekly Conrail power move from Reading to Enola approaches its destination as it crosses the Rockville Bridge. This assemblage of local power from Reading, usually predominated by former Reading SW900’s, SW1500’s, and MP15’s, could also include GP10’s, GP15-1’s and GP38’s. These locos were mostly assigned to five-day a-week jobs, and were serviced at Enola on the weekends. This day’s lineup included eight SW900’s, an MP15, a GP38-2, a GP15-1, and an outlier SD50.

I tend to go stir crazy if there is not a pile of books to read. Internet reading is ok but a physical book is even better.

Another cold day with my son at home feeling a little poorly after his second vaccination.

Reading is one of my passions, an escape for a few hours, where I can be transported to a whole new world of mystery, thrills or drama, depending on what mood I fancy. I must admit that these days I tend to read more on my Kindle app, very convenient being able to enlarge the text but nothing can quite beat the smell and feel of a real book.

Thanks for viewing and HCT 😀

Reading No Words by Conspiracy of Cartographers

When I say that I'm a "travel photographer" (which is not actually something I say a lot, but it's been mentioned), I don't mean that I fly around the world to National Geographic locations. I generally don't fly at all.*

By travel, I mean that I generally don't shoot at home. I travel (drive) to the locations I photograph.

Usually, it's about three to five hours away from where I live. And often it's just a daytrip.

Once a year, I am fortunate enough to take a month off and travel the US by car. Then, I am mostly camping, staying in hotels only when I "have" to. Usually the camping is free and in a tent. I don't like sleeping in my car.

For me, photography is how I interpret the world outside of my daily world. I don't carry a camera with me basically ever (unless I'm traveling).

I'm sure flying with big cameras and film isn't that much of a pain in the ass. And I see the draw in being able to essentially teleport ones self to your destination. It allows you to explore that destination much more thoroughly than I am usually able to. There's a great benefit to this.

But I am also a travel photographer in the sense that I photograph what I see while I'm literally traveling.

In this photo, taken looking towards Steptoe Butte in the Palouse area of eastern Washington, I literally stopped on the road, got out of the car, grabbed my RB67, and took the shot.

I don't think there's some big controversy over what is and isn't travel photography (unlike the ridiculous arguments over what is and isn't street photography), but it's at least something to think about while I'm apparently taking some sort of break.

*I've flown three times in my life - 1984, 2007, 2020. Will I ever do it again?
