Jalebi follows humanities long standing standard formula for happiness - three parts sugar, one part fat - heat and enjoy! My kids loved these when they were there, I think every time we saw them they wanted to stop. Here on a work trip I stopped, but only for a photo! Enjoy these virtual Jalebies!
The Other Side of Town (a photo series)
This photo shows the ghosted remnants of the Standard Oil Company logo clinging to this weathered facade on East Nevada Street in Marshalltown, Iowa. The grand old building stands as a silent eulogy to an era of unbridled Midwestern industrial dominance. However, decades of harsh Iowa weather have slowly bleached away the corporate emblem, transforming a once-ubiquitous mark of economic certainty into a faint, bleeding artifact of the past. Now abandoned, it is a portrait of corporate transience, with the vanishing emblem serving as a powerful visual metaphor for shifting global monopolies and the hollow architecture left in their wake.
About the Project
The Other Side of Town series invites you to closely examine the overlooked- and perhaps even avoided spaces around us. In photographing these scenes, my focus was on the striking tension between these enduring structures and the haunting absence of the people who built, inhabited, and worked within them.
Empty streets, abandoned homes, industrial areas, and neglected structures serve as portraits of culture, mapped through the traces we leave behind. Within these frames, the ordinary and the unsightly acquire an unexpected beauty- revealing powerful visual metaphors for transience, social inequality, and the lingering echo of human presence.
Looking through this series of photos may encourage you to see your own hometown differently. Ultimately, these overlooked surroundings may reveal more about our collective psyche and the unsettled time that we inhabit- maybe more than we realize- or care to admit.

The Standard Ten was a model name given to several small cars produced by the British Standard Motor Company between 1906 and 1961. The name was a reference to the car's fiscal horsepower or tax horsepower, a function of the surface area of the pistons. This 1934 Standard 10, WF 6766, is seen arriving at the Pre-War Prescott event on 11th September 2021.
I'm not the fishing type of street photographer. So, shots like these don't happen too often to me. I had to walk faster to get ahead of her and prepare for the shot.
Hi, Me again...
In April 2021, I received my first 35mm as a gift from a fellow photography enthusiast. I seriously had no idea what I was doing but I immeditely knew I enjoyed it. The sound alone was enough to give me shivers!! Since then, I have shot a few rolls of film, find myself in possession of 5 new cameras, managed to process 2 rolls at home, 'scan', and now I'm ready to put them out there.
I don't ever profess to be a perfect photographer. If fact, I'm usually incredibly insecure. Digital photography always had me seeking perfection. It is silly because life isn't perfect, but regardless, I feared things like proper exposure and unconventional subjects. (Yes....insert eye roll here!)
The thing about film though, it has given me freedom it be imperfect, appreciate 'flaws' and embrace everyday life in an authentic and unpolished way. Film has given me permission to love the imperfect and see it for all its beauty. Also, the fact that my hands are on it from start to finish....well that... that alone gives me immense satisfaction.
So.....I'm saying be ready for the perfectly imperfect. And just to prove it...I resisted the urge to edit out my chicken pox scars. :-) I'm going to be brave and start sharing what I've been working on and what I love.
Here goes....

NS 8817 leads a very late 211 through one of the few secluded areas near metro Atlanta on a brisk September evening.
eastern Standard Time is a favourite by The Skatalites. I went to a rum and reggae night in Cardiff last night, it was great fun. I would have preferred a few more older classics but iot was great to see so many people all enjoying reggae. I'm coming to the end of my adder obsession and now am in the middle of y High brown Fritillary larval obsession. It's going really well I'veseen well over thirty, and good numbers in all the areas we've done management for them. Hopefully it should mean it'llbe a good year for the adults. This was a photo from earlier in the year in changeable weather, which is what we're in a spell of at the moment.
A nice standard-cab consist on this particular afternoon's version of Bloomington-to-Decatur train D36, including SD40E 6329 (ex-CR SD50 6762) and GP60 7108, seen approaching the north end of the siding at Lodge, Illinois. For the time being, the former Wabash searchlights still stand here and a few other places on this, Norfolk Southern's Bloomington District.
6/29/2022 Update: These signals have been removed.
It's always nice to have a standard cab leader, especially on the point of an intermodal. This day's CN X120 heads east towards Montreal through the shadows at Newtonville Rd. near Port Granby, ON.
A pair of SD60's lead priority intermodal train Q148 through the signals at Hardy Road in Brantford.
CN 2124 and CN 2126 lead CN 148 through Copetown West. With CN selling off and scrapping the majority of their C40-8 fleet, getting this pair was a must do.
The Peugeot 404 is a large family car produced by French automobile manufacturer Peugeot from 1960 to 1975.
A truck body style variant was marketed until 1988.
Styled by Pininfarina, the 404 was offered initially as a saloon, estate, and pickup. A convertible was added in 1962, and a coupé in 1963. The 404 was fitted with a 1.6 litre petrol engine, with either a Solex carburetor or Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection or a 1.9 litre diesel engine available as options. Introduced at the Paris Motor Show as an option was the inclusion of a 3-speed ZF automatic transmission, similar to the unit already offered on certain BMW models, as an alternative to the standard column-mounted manual unit.
Popular as a taxicab, the 404 enjoyed a reputation for durability and value.
The 404 was manufactured under licence in various African countries until 1991 (in Kenya) and was manufactured in Argentina by Safrar/Sevel in El Palomar; in Québec, Canada at the St-Bruno-de-Montarville Sociéte de Montage Automobile (SoMA) Ltd. plant (1965–1968); in New Zealand by Campbell Industries; in Australia by Renault Australia Pty. Ltd.; and in Chile by Automotores Franco Chilena S.A. in Los Andes. Peugeot's French production run of 1,847,568 404s ended in 1975.
A total of 2,885,374 units had been produced worldwide at the end of production.
As the model was designed by Pininfarina, the bodyshell is very similarly styled to the one used in the 1959 Austin Westminster.
Conrail 2034 & 2038 are parked at the North end of Shire Oaks Yard in Elrama, PA on January 1, 1998. They brought in the last WISO-84 of 1997 the previous day. The ex MGA Super-7's were used primarily out of Shire Oaks at the time, and were the standard power on WISO-84 until the MAC's arrived.

A triplet of CSX standard cabs, lead by CSX 8881, lead Q507 south past the B&O CPL at Troy, OH. Q507 takes the place of Q511, and makes the run from Detroit Rougemere to Cincinnati Queensgate, with blocks of cars bound for AK Steel.
I took a white rose from a bunch of roses I bought at the weekend and put it in a black ceramic bottle and placed it in front of a standard lamp with a red lampshade.
TRRA took over the provision of power for the Madison-to-Lindenwood Turn from BNSF just a bit too late for the switch back to Central Standard Time, as it does every year about this time. Nevertheless, good results can be had. Here, westbound T201 takes the signal at Grand Blvd in St. Louis, on its way to BNSF.

Before the rain or the rainbow, flocks flew fast somewhere else - there are a lot of them, near the Heath! But thursday was a special afternoon light with bright sun and gray clouds - before it begun to rain.
This was a gift from a Russian friend. I'm not much of a drinker so it's been sitting around for over a year - unopened! But I hear it's best served right out of the freezer with a couple of close buddies ;-)
With the day warming up, but the bluebells behind the train embracing the sunshine, Standard 4, 75078, effortlessly climbs Oakworth bank with the 14.25 ex Keighley
With the coming of the equinox, the Dogwoods are blooming in the spring weather as eastbound NS freight train 18M rumbles out of Huger Tunnel with its usual gaggle of motive power on the point, including the standard cab GE leading on the afternoon of April 25, 2015, near Superior, WV.

Eastern Standard Time is a favourite Skatalites track, and as these are the eastern fells of the Lakes it's fine. I was so lucky to get such lovely views. Took me back to all my winter climbs and walks .
CP SD40-2 6055 in CPKC paint trails Eastbound past Union Station in Gary, IN Note the unit was mistakenly lettered CPKC.
A standard cab SD60 approaches North End Morgantown in Bowling Green, Kentucky on CSX Q211. The siding here is being extended to 4 miles long, as a part of the Summer 2016 project for the Mainline Subdivison to be able to handle DPU-trains. Three sidings were extended, Cave City, Morgantown (renamed to Bowling Green), and Mitchellville. Bowling Green was extended to the south end of Memphis Junction Yard, and a new control point was added, Memphis Junction CP. At South End Bowling Green, double crossovers were added.
I enjoy photographing poodles, as they're usually compliant models, and they also have nice soft fur. I grew up with a silver standard poodle, Joshua, who looked just like Pepper here. She was a good sport about me taking photos of her, and had a good time at the farm.
