Arc and I realized we never took wedding pics of our old Hogwarts characters so, armed with wine and epic photoshop skills, we came up with this. :D
My latest trip broke the usual routine, moving Southeast rather than North or West. Visiting the old DRGW in Utah was a itch I needed to scratch. While on property I had time to do some thinking. My thoughts are cheap- fire sale.
Utah- it's beautiful, everything I like about photographing in the West. The preferred subject- a train is the ingredient often missing. When you do get a train, good light and good power is often too much to ask.. which can be frustrating. It makes the highs so high, and the lows, well.. low.
My advice- adapting and accepting is key, and ignorance is bliss. Forget about what could have been 20-30 years ago and you might find a sliver of joy. As much as I wish I could follow this I can't. For the rest of us, I think a envious stew boils deep inside us. How can you put in 10x the investment and get a tenth of a shot some random guy who pointed his camera in the opposite direction of the sun 40 years ago? I don't mean to boil it down to something so simple, shooting film was a skill which needed investment and practice. But in the same token, at least the railroads ran trains for practice. Those who got a good wedgie with a well composed foreground and background go as walking legends nowadays. In the modern era you can perfect a comp for hours just to piss away the last light- the usual culprit (no crews, notch restrictions, 15,000 ft no fitters, the eternal shitlist) throwing a wrench into the heart of the railroad. The usual ending- you don't get your shot.
I have always respected the challenge of railroad photography.. its not just farting around in a meadow shooting flowers. Its a methodical prediction of the weather, travel time, and what the railroad is going to do. When it all comes together, it is truly exhilarating. This challenge has forged all of us into being sharp photographers, capable of some magic when put under pressure. Today there is even more pressure- no trains! Screw those damn traditional shots you can't get anyways- let's do more with less.
Is that enough rambling? Here's a humbling shot after talking so high and ho.. a IPP empty heads East in the dying light. 1/400 wasn't fast enough for the descent down the hill West of Green River, UT. And yes, these are the DPU's.

"O mueres siendo un héroe, o vives lo suficiente para verte convertido en villano." Batman, El Caballero Oscuro.
Me encanta esa frase. Fuera de cualquier superpoder, hablamos del poder de las ideas, la experiencia, el paso del tiempo y el peso de la sociedad en nosotros. Cómo cambia nuestra forma de actuar el llevarnos golpes y cómo hasta la persona más pura se ve tentada a rendirse ante el pecado. ¿Es posible mantenerse inmune a lo que parece ley de vida?
“Sometimes you don’t realize your own strength until you come face to face with your greatest weakness.”

"Everybody's looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You'll find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be"
A shot I have been playing around with little while from the Bellambi sunrise a few weeks ago. I put a lot of effort into my composition this morning, my arrangement of elements within the frame, I feel a very strong emotional attachement to this image. I love this photo and what it stands for, that we are willing to get up crazily early to look for something beautiful, something interesting, something that captures our imagination and makes us want to preserve that moment forever.

One of the most amazing couple I've ever met. They're two lovely souls and I am so glad I had the chance to photograph them.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. - Hilary Cooper.
Mural by Juuri 従理 aka @juuriart83 for Streetwise Arts, seen at 2775 Valmont Road in Boulder, Colorado.
The artist states: ""Bamboo branches with double sparrows" is the Date family kamon (crest.) Like bamboo leaves weighed down under snow yet never breaking, Masaoka bears an unfathomable burden silently... waiting for her chance to spring back and cast off her clan's enemies like powdered snow. The flowers surrounding Masaoka are bush clover, which are native to the Sendai region.
.
The story of Masaoka is being performed this September all over Japan by the prestigious Ichikawa family of grand Kabuki. I was excited to be able to paint something that not only shows an extremely powerful woman from history, but has a present link to Japan for this month."

During World War II, the Germans used the Enigma, a cipher machine, to develop nearly unbreakable codes for sending messages. The Enigma's settings offered 150,000,000,000,000,000,000 possible solutions, yet the Allies were eventually able to crack its code. By end of the war, 10 percent of all German Enigma communications were decoded at Bletchley Park, in England, on the world’s first electromagnetic computers.

The Toyota Hilux has long been one of the best selling pickup trucks in Australia and globally. A reputation for being unbreakable, the key selling point.
Australia is a tough country, and Toyota has dominated rural markets with the Hilux and other rough-terrain vehicles.
The gents (foolish gents) at the BBC TopGear team thought they would see what it would take to actually kill a Toyota Hilux, with some astounding results.
Note, this was way back in Season 3, so you might not recognise them....
