Hey I'm Ty!
I am not very good at talking about myself but I thought I would give it a shot.
In 2024 I am trying to start making art/create work again out of Seattle. From 2006-2012 I worked as a photographer doing mostly band promotional, wedding, & portrait work. I got burned out on some bad jobs & was very broke so I went to school to try to figure out my life & kind of lost interest.
I currently work in the transportation sector in the region which also gives me a lot of scouting opportunities. I try to bring a perspective and eye from someone whose moved 30+ times, lives in 7 US states & had both parents serve in the Air Force (so a lot of abroad time).
I shoot right now with a 5D Mark II as I try to catch up to speed. I have a 24mm 1.4L, 24-70mm 2.8L II USM & 70-200mm 2.8L lens.
I know this site isn't what it once was, but I have really appreciated those of you who come by and like my photos every week. You are really appreciated.

A daytime stacked exposure turned out cool results from this lightrail train cutting through the Riverside skyline.
So I'm working an outbound Boeing run on the J-Line and get to 22nd Street on the J PRW and there are fire trucks blocking the intersection. It seems that a giant sinkhole opened up on the steep part of 22nd between Church and Dolores. So I radioed Central Control and apprised them of the situation, and stated that it would be potentially unsafe to continue outbound (not that I could, because I was blocked). So Central ordered all other J cars to switch back at 16th Street from outbound to inbound, and cars heading inbound to switch back at the 23rd Street Crossover. I suggested that I be used as a shuttle between 22nd and 16th. After ascertaining that there were no other trains in the area, they assented. So I shuttled on the outbound track for the rest of the evening.
Why are my doors open on the wrong side? For boarding passengers who had to walk from 23rd Street, and monitored their movements to make sure they didn't stumble on the raised asphalt bubbles by the rear door. At that time, there was still a platform on the nearside, so they could get off the car safely. After that was done, I changed ends and the steps on both sides did their thing.
The situation endured for about two weeks while the sinkhole was filled. In the meantime, N-Judah trains that used the new J-Extension to get from/to Metro Yard had to revert to the old way of getting to the N-Line, via the now-seldom-used bumpily-bump crossover, or going all the way to Embarcadero.

Metropolitan Transit Authority Type 5 trolley 5799 outbound to the Heath Street Loop around 1950. Passengers are getting off on Huntington Avenue across from Northeastern University. 5799 went into service in 1923 and was scrapped in 1954. Paul A Dever became governor of Massachusetts in 1948 and won reelection in 1950. The political add on the car looks like it's from his running for his second term. So that dates this in 1950. - from a negative in my collection, photographer unknown
The remnants of a previous evening of monsoonal thunderstorms that produced heavy rain and hail that basically chased me out of the backcountry... Not a bad consolation prize...
