Emptying the ashpit at Llanfair used to be an arduous task. Thankfully the practice of dumping the ash at suitable sites along the line has ceased and it is now loaded into skip and taken away by a 'hazardous waste contractor'
So many names - almost more than we can bear.
The Empty Skies monument, to the 746 New Jersey residents who were killed in the September 11, 2001 attacks. New Jersey was the home of 1/4 of the people killed - only New York had more. Each monument is 208 feet and 10 inches long - the same length as a side of the trade towers. They are about 30 feet high, and as you walk between the two of them, you see the trade center site directly ahead.
Taken at Liberty State Park, Jersey City, New Jersey, across the Hudson River. Hazy, foggy, drizzly conditions tonight, with low cloud cover. Ten year anniversary. It doesn't feel like 10 years.
a good ride home through the city...with winds kicked up by a storm, drunks, police & sirens, peds, and a very still dog that just watched us ride by.
A small sample of some of the mayhem that was Lakeforest's final day of operation, in which (among more-nefarious things) nearly all the surviving plants in the mall's conversation pits were stolen from their roots.

I've been teaching a class in photojournalism with a friend, a well-known NY photographer. Last week I showed the class a bunch of my pictures that I thought qualified as photojournalism & then showed a few like this one. My friend kept asking things like, "Why did you take it? What were you trying to do? What is it a picture of?" His questions were well-meaning. He wasn't condemning my pictures. He really wanted to know. I answered, "It's a picture of emptiness."
That's true but also perhaps a bit evasive. I've been taking pictures like this for nearly 30 years, starting with B & W. Unlike most of the pictures I've taken of people, I have absolutely no ambivalence about these "empty" shots. I know I want them & ,after shooting them, I know I've got them. But I don't know what they mean exactly.
I'm curious what you think. I'd like to post a series of these & have you react to them, not in terms of light & color & composition etc. -- not even necessarily rationally -- but in terms of feelings, evocation, meaning, if you think they have any -- what pops into your head, what comes to mind? Some of you may not be interested in doing this & if so, that's fine. Any comment is appreciated, as always. But if you are interested, I'd especially appreciate your thoughts.

The lighting was incredibly poor when I caught this empty BNSF coal train, so I converted the image to B&W. It works for me.

I'm always attracted by shapes and patterns in nature - like here. I hope you enjoy it too.

ENJOY!!!
Took this with my point-and-shoot while walking into Lismore CBD at night from the showground, after I left the 2011 Lismore Show. It shows the intersection of Terania St and the Dunoon Rd in North Lismore. North Lismore always has this kind of empty, retro feel, especially after dark. Lismore 2011
Beside the Merrimack River, the boardwalk in Newburyport is empty during a snowstorm, a week before winter begins. Remnants of prior footsteps remain heading east.
Empty UP coal train passes through Granite City, IL heading south for a refill from the southern Illinois coalfields.
Looks like they're building another development project near downtown Austin. It's going to be built around the old Seaholm power plant by the river.
I was expecting a batch of postcards for my show opening on May 6th and yesterday I got...
AN EMPTY ENVELOPE!!!!
Yes, it looks like something savaged my mail and ripped out the things I needed. I was hoping to mail out a bunch of postcards to friends and family to promote my show.
Not this time!! Not yet at least. More might be on the way.
