"If you want to see the last Interstate unit to leave Andover, you'd better get up here!" The voice on the other end of the phone was Sonny Burchfield, an operator for the Southern at the newly combined Interstate-Southern yard at Andover. As the evening sun set behind the southwestern Virginia hills on Oct. 5, 1965, I drove up to the engine facility to find a single Alco RS-3, Interstate Railroad No. 32, burbling away all by itself. Her nine sister units were already in Atlanta, or enroute soon to be repainted in Southern's black-and-off-white livery and placed in yard and transfer service. The Tri-X Pan black-and-white film in my camera was just barely fast enough to record a few handheld shots in the fading light, but this was history, and I had to have a photo. Later that night, No. 32 left Andover in tow for Atlanta, where it joined its nine sister units for continued service in Georgia and the Carolinas.
Happy Valentine's Day to everyone, especially to those who are single. This day kind of sucks hey ;).
On this day to celebrate love, I would like to share a story about my son Micah who is 6 years old and severely autistic. He has been predominantly non-verbal but is progressively saying more words. Micah said mummy to me for the first time today <3. A greater love I could not have in my life. Cherish the moments and appreciate love in all its forms - there could be no greater gift on Valentine's Day for me.
"The creative force and the expressiveness of painting reside materially in the color and texture of pigment, in the possibilities of form invention and organization, and in the flat plane on which these elements are brought to play. The artist is concerned solely with linking these absolute qualities directly to his wit, imagination and experience, without the go-betweens of a 'subject.' Working on a single plane as the instantaneous visualizing factor, he realizes his mind motives and physical sensations in a permanent and universal language of color, texture, and form organization. He uncovers the pure plane of expression that has so long been hidden by the glazings of nature imitation, anecdote and other popular subjects. Accordingly the artist's work is to be measured by the vitality, the invention, and the definiteness and conviction of purpose within his own medium."

A man's interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.

Blue Jays in the tree outside my living room window this morning. Shooting between the blinds and thru a window didn't help. There were two of them - but I never got both to sit still at the same time, thus "A Single Bluebird".
After picking up a single empty at Ardent Mills (the building at far right), CN 500 is heading back to the main line. CN 4724, BNSF 2302 & GTW 79047 are ahead of the single car

Op mijn zolder veel boeken, oude papieren maar geen leuke
dingen om een macro van te maken.
Maar er stond ook nog een doos met oude grammofoonplaten.
Omdat ik niets beters kon vinden of bedenken dus maar
een close-up deze single gemaakt.
In my attic many books, old papers but no fun things
to make a macro out of.
But there was also a box with old gramophone records.
Because I couldn't find or think of anything better,
I just made a close-up of this single.

I apologize that I've been away. I got very distracted for the last month pursuing an outside interest. If you're at all curious what that is, read this post on my weblog.

Finding a single rock with the sea sweeping around it is like photographic heaven for me! with the use of a lee little stopper it gives you the opportunity to be creative and capture the movement just how you want to show it. Here's one taken at Hengistbury Head in Dorset last week.
Have a great Friday guys!
