Foto ini terinspirasi dari perkataan dosen saya. Beliau mengatakan bahwa bedanya seorang Engineer dengan yang bukan engineer adalah pada pola pikir. Seorang Engineer selalu memperhitungkan sesuatu sebelum mengambil tindakan, ketika dia yakin bisa, maka akan dilakukan. Dan jika tidak, dia akan mencari solusi bagaimana pemecahannya.
The "Three Amigos" in engineer class. L to R: Mike Burbidge, Jeff Sessa (me), Jay Daravong. I believe Mike went to MBTA, I went to Amtrak in 2023, and Jay went to the Pan Am before leaving the industry entirely. We certainly had fun down in Atlanta.

Get out of the traffic jam - with the iTroll.
The iTroll is a smart pedal-scooter. With the integrated Microprocessor the rider pedaling is registered and amplified by the motor. The Berlin engineer Hans Boës developed this electric scooter with pedal assistance.
Not for the first time this year, but still a rare sight these days - a Class 60 on an engineers' train as GB Railfreight's 60076 "Dunbar" pairs up with Class 66, 66771 on a rail drop train for an overnight possession in the Hazel Grove area.
The Brush Traction machine was leading for the return run, powering through Acton Bridge on a crisp and chilly Sunday morning as 6G49 07:38 Stockport Edgeley Junction No 1 to Crewe Basford Hall SSM.

This is one of two photographs from 2002 showing Louis Sanderson motor engineers toward the end of it's time operating under the family name which dates back to the 1930's.
I'm assuming fuel sales ended at least five years prior to this photo being taken when there was still quite a high demand for four star petrol. I do believe the three pumps on show are Gilbarco highlines dating back from the 1970's which appear to all have panels for selecting different grades of petrol so I'm almost certain that 2/3/4 star petrol would have been available at one point.
There appears to be two older pumps one of the left of the forecourt and the other on the right under the floodlight which were probably diesel pumps but cannon confirm this.
I'm not sure if the garage was still trading around this time despite two cars on the forecourt.
Today this is Mellors Garage which has operated under this name since 2005/2006

Ever since I saw those track pieces I wanted to recreate the engineer's rancho relaxo taunt.
South Shore Engineer Paul Barnes has 33's controller on the post as we head to Chicago in April 1975.
Paul had quite a career with the South Shore. He started in 1939 in the B&B dept. then off to WWll in the Navy, came back in 1945 as a collector. He went off to Korea and came back in 1953 and entered Engine Service, and worked freight for 10 years straight. He ran everything the South Shore had, from Steeple Cabs to 700's, 800's Orange cars and made the transition to the new cars and retired in 1988. He passed away a few years ago. A real Railroader!

Here's another shot from my recent trip in the San Juan Mountains. While I didn't shoot a lot during this trip (it was a vacation with the wife), I spent almost every morning trying to capture this scene of Engineer Mountain reflecting in Boyce Lake. Thank goodness my wife is not a morning person...thus giving me the opportunity to scratch my photographic itch! The conditions were fickle at best and this was the best I could do after four pre-dawn trips to this spot. Too many clouds, no clouds, too much wind, and even some pesky, reflection-killing beavers all contributed to my frustration. In the end, I considered myself fortunate to come away with this image. Patience and persistence are most certainly requisite virtues amongst photographers!

This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while. Though, sadly I admit that I never took enough of these types of photographs, but those few that I do have deserve to be edited and shared in an album of their own. So, look for more soon in what will be a little series of Alaskan Railroaders.
I had the absolute pleasure to work with the finest and most dedicated group of railroaders in all the land for six wonderful years from 2007 to 2013. It was the greatest honor of my life to lead these men and women as we worked as a team to grow service and become more efficient all while doing it safely in some of the harshest conditions to be found anywhere. And as the smiles in these photos will attest, we strove to have FUN while doing it. As in all jobs, there were bad days and frustrating times and personal conflicts that arise in any organization. But more than anywhere I have ever worked in more than two decades now, there was truly an esprit de corps on the Alaska Railroad and the pride these fine folks felt about their chose career was palpable day in and day out.
I hope these images help show you a tiny glimpse into that wonderful world that was once my family and my home. So raise a glass to the finest railroaders I’ve ever known!

I think the one in the window is named "Happy" and the one to his left is named "Grumpy." Not sure why. (Knott's Berry Farm.)
renovation of gyldenrisparken social housing, copenhagen denmark 2005-2012.
architects and engineers: a collaborative effort by vandkunsten, witraz & wissenberg.
original architects: svend fournais and hans ole christiansen, 1964.
I worked on the competition for this project back in 2005 and, seeing that prince charles is visiting the place today (no, really), I thought if it is good enough for him, it is good enough for you guys.
we have been through a few discussions here on how to treat our modernist heritage, not least the troubled post-war housing projects which have seen such social decline since construction, and so many practical problems too, all while bearing the brunt of modern migration and its consequences, a drama still unfolding. there is plenty to talk about.
in denmark, we rarely demolish social housing, favouring physical renovation in combination with local social work, but more often than not, the renovation effort is done in a sort of hostility towards the original architecture. we know better. not very likely.
in a way, defending 1960's plattenbau is about as backward as you can get in architectural conservatism, but the problem of what to do with these buildings, especially the ones that don't immediately call for the protection of their unique architecture, is one of the central questions of our trade these years.
elsewhere, most notably in britain, a number of related buildings, considered classics by some of us, are being torn down and their sites redeveloped with a much higher density, suggesting that the shrill debate surrounding their destruction is partly driven by financial interests - that this most important subject is the victim of spin, and not from the people directly involved.
neither approach seemed attractive and it was with some trepidation that we entered the competition for an overall plan for the 1964 gyldenrisparken area, including new facades, combining smaller flats into larger ones, a new nursing home, and a new kindergarten. how should we respond?
it was obvious from our first visit, that the original architects hadn't quite been the crooks "popular opinion" would have us think of that period's practitioners. the plans were good, the green spaces generous, the buildings well-proportioned. and the scale was humane. don't forget that copenhagen has just been through a horrid phase of 8 to 12-storey housing blocks in ørestad. none of that here.
the buildings we found, their exteriors in particular, were strangely devoid of details. anything that could be solved with pre-fab concrete was. balcony fronts were a single slab of concrete effectively blocking daylight from entering the flats. it is tempting to say that the architects were married to the concrete industry, but it is perhaps more correct that they were wedded to the idea of industrial production of architecture and that it occasionally got in the way of doing the right thing. but not always.
the available narratives did not fit. there were no victims, no perpetrators. no righteousness possible on behalf of the architects and, thankfully, no drama. plenty to be done, though.
and so, we proposed that the original architecture be respected; that after insulating the houses to a high, modern standard, we reclad them in white concrete. and that the biggest changes were to happen at detail level. one image we used during our discussions was that, looking only at the concrete, these blocks could have been by jacobsen or one of the other masters working in the thirties or fifties - that, in a sense, we had to bring them back in time to a period of more refined detailing. we were looking for a way of not imposing on the architecture we found. you'll be the judge.
we won, by the way, and the work is almost complete. it has taken a while because the area of gyldenrisparken is large, as they liked it in the sixties. it is so large, in fact, that we were able to build a new nursing home and kindergarten there after clearing up secondary structures between the houses. we designed them as long meandering buildings that subdivide and qualify the green spaces.
all new construction was kept in two floors and clad in black wood for constrast and clarity. they have green roofs that retain rain water, and the kindergarten became our first passive house, done according to the strict, german passivhaus standards.
while this all sounds good, you have to wonder why the whole project was not done to those standards. ein passivhaus ist kein passivhaus, so to speak, but the copenhagen municipality wanted a showcase, nothing more, for COP 15, the failed climate conference they hosted in 2009. political tokenism at its worst, to my mind, and at its core one of the reasons COP 15 had to fail.
however, the filth of politics should not be allowed to detract from the work of decent people, and while the architecture of the gyldenrisparken renovation is so discreet as to be almost invisible (as in almost unpublished), there are other and better ways to measure its success. the rent remains low, meaning that people can stay on. there is no forced gentrification. yet the waiting list for future residents keeps growing. it used to take five months to get a flat in gyldenrisparken, it will take you five years now.

More than two decades ago I was in Berea watching trains when an eastbound CSX manifest freight stopped to wait on traffic ahead. The locomotive engineer invited me to come up to the cab to get some photographs. The view is looking east on the engineer's side. (Scanned from color negative film)

The Golden Gate Bridge
(Written upon completion of the Bridge in 1937
by Joseph P. Strauss, Chief Engineer, Golden Gate Bridge and Highway District )
I am the thing that men denied,
The right to be, the urge to live;
And I am that which men defied,
Yet I ask naught for what I give.
My arms are flung across the deep,
Into the clouds my towers soar,
And where the waters never sleep,
I guard the California shore.
Above the fogs of scorn and doubt,
Triumphant gleams my web of steel;
Still shall I ride the wild storms out,
And still the thrill of conquest feel.
The passing world may never know
The epic of my grim travail;
It matters not, nor friend or foe –
My place to serve and none to fail.
My being cradled in despair,
Now grown so wondrous fair and strong,
And glorified beyond compare,
Rebukes the error and the wrong.
Vast shafts of steel, wave-battered pier,
And all the splendor meant to be;
Wind-swept and free, these, year on year,
Shall chant my hymm of Victory!

An important thing to remember is that even though pixel sizes keep getting smaller and smaller, the technology is advancing, so the smaller pixels are more efficient at collecting light. For instance, the Sony A7rII is back-illuminated which allows more photons to hit the sensor. Semiconductor technology is always advancing, so the brilliant engineers are always improving the signal/noise ratio. Far higher pixel counts, as well as better dynamic ranger, are thus not only possible, but the future!

The new Lightroom rocks!
Beautiful magnificent clouds!
View your artistic mission into photography as an epic odyssey of heroic poetry! Take it from Homer in Homer's Odyssey: "Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; but do what he might he could not save his men, for they perished through their own sheer folly in eating the cattle of the Sun-god Hyperion; so the god prevented them from ever reaching home. Tell me, too, about all these things, O daughter of Jove, from whatsoever source you may know them. " --Samuel Butler Translation of Homer's Odyssey
All the best on your Epic Hero's Odyssey from Johnny Ranger McCoy!
