He's not in the best clarity, but I thought it was funny he flew off when he saw my camera pointing at him!!!
Sport quotidien toujours, cette fois sur le tapis de course de la Station : le squelette et les os sont stimulés par les chocs de la course à pied. Pour nous maintenir solidaires du tapis, on utilise des tendeurs dont on peut choisir la résistance 💪 Vu que la tension est reprise par le harnais, c’est comme porter son propre poids dans un sac à dos… on le sent sur les épaules et sur les hanches ! 😬 Trop douloureux de courir tous les jours comme ça, donc on règle en général la tension à 75% de notre poids, ça suffit à nous maintenir en forme. Nos coaches sportifs connaissent le truc et savent comment ne pas nous laisser aller : ils augmentent largement la vitesse du tapis par rapport à nos performances au sol !!! Sympa de courir, mais j’ai hâte de pouvoir le faire dans la nature :)

More working out in space... On our treadmill. We use bungee cords to keep from flying away, and by changing the number of clips we can set how much force to push us down on. Since the tension is taken by our harness, it really is like running with a backpack of your own weight… you feel it on the hips and on the shoulders! That’s why we usually run at a fraction of our earthly weight… but our coaches know how to keep us honest: they speed up our protocols by 30%... I’m kind of missing a natural environment to run in, though. 🌲🌳

Just a wider take on this scene cause it's so cool!
There isn't much left on my bucket list to shoot in my home state (Rhode Island is pretty small after all!) but this was the big one that had eluded me. While I did shoot a train here back in the 1990s before I left for two decades after school, I had yet to photograph anything in the six years since I'd been back. But this day, thanks to some intel I knew that Providence and Worcester's Valley Falls based local PR-3 had a car for Safety-Kleen in their consist so most likely were going to head out here. I followed them out the Harbor Junction to the port but once they wrapped up their work their they rearranged their power with their two locos bracketing the one car so I knew they were going!
This is the Warwick Industrial Track which to quote Daria Phoebe Brashear:
"began life connecting the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, now generally known as the Amtrak main between Providence and the Connecticut shoreline, with the former Warwick Railroad, a lightly constructed line that started with steam dummies before being converted to electric trolleys, and which was gradually extended to Oakland Beach and then, via trestles across the inlets, around to Buttonwoods.
The urban and suburban trolley operations around Providence were consolidated under the same ownership as the New Haven under the auspices of the Rhode Island Company, with the mainline connection and a short portion of the original Warwick RailROAD surviving past the end of streetcar operations to service industrial customers in Cranston and Warwick as newly-incorporated Warwick RailWAY, although encroaching residental development kept service from actually being meaningfully offered past the Alrose Chemical plant, later Geigy, where the line crossed the Pawtuxet River.
After the chemical plant closed in the 1980s, the line ended up going fallow before being resurrected for new customer Safety-Kleen Systems circa 2015. The backyard trackage now services only them, in the building which formerly housed Atlantic Tubing and Rubber on Cranston's Mill Street."
PW GP38-2s 2006 and 2008 which were built new for the then only 7 year newly independent road by EMD in Feb. and Dec. 1980 respectively and have spent their entire careers working the rails of the Ocean State bracket a lone loaded tank for Safety-Kleen as they do a little parking lot running approaching the busy Elmwood Ave. / U.S. Route 1 crossing

I love shooting people in motion, and have been trying to hook up with joggers for a while. Ran into a friend the other day and mentioned it, just so happens she runs! Three strobes used. SB 800 and SB28 stacked together with umbrellas to the far left (one high one low.) One vivitar 283 with variopower to the far right to catch her from behind. Dialed down shutter for ambient.
Laramies band was not very sociable today and , despite the epic hike we had taken to find them they ran right off.We followed, of course
I kinda hurt my foot getting this shot. Running on big rocks with Airwalks on HURT! I had to take the day off from work!
Where: Corner of Mulberry and Hester streets in Manhattan, New York, USA.
When: Beginning of June 2011.
What: A man who did not want to look boring on my pictures.

For "Get Pushed" round 17, I was paired with the young and so very talented Rachel, aka "Girl in Sneakers". Check out her response to my push...it's amazing! She challenged me to create an image which tells a story. She gave me examples of themes such as: vision; fate; destiny; love; sadness; hope; and redemption, to go by. Also, the challenge required using a road as a backdrop, and to incorporate 3 of these 6 items she listed: a clock; feet (bare or with shoes); 3 books; eyeglasses; or a person (not looking at the camera); a photo of someone you love (in a frame). What an interesting and fantastic challenge!
So I pondered the possibilities for a while and admittedly was stumped. Eventually I decided to just move forward without so much of a plan, to go out on a photoshoot, 'wing it' and see what I came up with. The shot of me running is where I started, and then I built the image from there, out of several other images I snapped. My concept is about time, and how there never seems to be enough of it. Therefore, I'm always trying to catch up. The crooked clock is for my warped sense of time; the turtles for the speed I seem to be at; my dog Moxie who is always watching and waiting for me to play with her or take her for a walk; the castle is about high hopes and dreams; the moon coming up shows the day is nearly over but also to always reach for it; and last but not least, the sunflower and the butterfly to remind me that no matter what, its all going to be okay and to just simply go along & be happy! :)
I don't use Photoshop very much, as Lightroom is my software of choice, so the collage techniques used here were a learn 'by the seat of your pants' type of thing. It's getting more familiar each time I use the program but I know there's so much yet to figure out. For a more realistic appearance, I tried creating more shadow effects but going as dark as I really needed to -made the shadows look too black and fake. Most of the hard shadows on the road are part of the original shot. After taking it through Photoshop, I played around with it in Nik Software's Color Efex Pro, applying a few different filters. Then back to Photoshop to subtly apply 3 different Kim Klassen texture layers. Fun!
Thanks for the push, Rachel! :)
