John (@canahtam on Instagram) is the founder of the #BostonPortraitMeets (organized on the Instagram account @portraitmeet) that I've been enjoying so much! Here he is shooting a portrait of Andrea (@stinsonandrea) at Saturday's epic meetup (epic because over 100 people showed up!).
After pulling onto the Flint Sub for headroom, HESR GP38-2 3509 shoves their train into the yard in Durand, MI with Durand Union Station to the left..

An impromptu piano playing session after brunch. My girls are playing piano together here and my heart just melts enjoying the togetherness.
Sweep leading the way as we make our way through the snow. Over a foot of the white stuff has fallen the past few days and it shows no sign of stopping just yet!
(Madagascar) - Photo préparatoire à une série de portraits sur les orpailleurs malgaches. Pour réaliser mon reportage sur les chercheurs d’or, il fallait que je prenne contact avec eux. Ou plutôt avec elles, car mes orpailleurs étaient principalement des orpailleuses. Elles ne parlaient pas un mot de français. Mon chauffeur de taxi leur a expliqué la raison de ma présence, ce qui les a fait beaucoup rire. J’en ai profité pour faire une première photo test, sans vraiment cadrer. Juste pour leur montrer à quoi elles ressemblaient sur mon écran de contrôle. Ce premier contact pris, j’ai pu passer ma journée à les photographier en plein travail et au moment des pauses. Une belle rencontre.
(Madagascar) - Preparatory photo for a series of portraits on Malagasy gold prospectors. To make my series on gold prospectors, I had to get in touch with them. Or rather with them, because my gold prospectors were mainly women. They didn't speak a word of French. My taxi driver explained to them the reason for my presence, which made them laugh a lot. I took the opportunity to take a first test photo, without really framing. Just to show them what they looked like on my control screen. Once this first contact was made, I was able to spend my day photographing them at work and during breaks. A great meeting.
Do you know, in all my 48 years, I have never made a rainbow and when it appeared I was really WOWED!! Obviously I realise it's the same way the beautiful big ones appear in the sky, but it's never happened before and I'm just going to let myself believe that this one was a special gift just for me ;-) Anyway, got something extra to keep me occupied through the rest of lock down now :-))
(The Overholt Series, Photo 16)
A scene from high up on the roof of the Old Overholt Distillery (A. Overholt Company). In the foreground is the main distilling building, then the smokestack and grain elevator. Getting up here was very tricky at the time. A certain access ladder was later removed, making this almost impossible now. I especially liked the dramatic cloud formation here.
Here's to a good school year! I am crossing my fingers and hoping for the best for these kids. Our sky is still highly polluted from smoke, yesterday we had the worst air quality in the world again. The sunrise was red so I had to try to capture it quickly and then get the day going. New schedule, new school year, hold on tight.
Never seen the Otters doing this before as they were pulling up clumps of grass and taking them back to the Holt even though they are already lined with straw.
Taken at the BWC.
This great egret made stab for a fish but missed. But the splash was nice, albeit not exactly belly-filling.

The look through the camera is like a door to another world.
Sea Stack in Chance Cove, NL
Someone once told me that as you grow older time seems to go faster...and boy is that true. On April 18th my daughter will be turning 4 already and this past Thursday I turned 36 myself. The older I get the more I start to realize what truly is important in life. Does it matter what car I drive? How big my house is? How much money I make? Do I have the latest greatest things?...well ok I do need the best camera gear :) but really...Is any of that really important? When our end comes what will truly matter?... If we are lucky we will have those special moments to remember. The ones that make us smile from the inside out. Those moments that were so impactful that you can feel yourself right back there at that time.
April 14th I picked up my father at 4:00am and we headed off to Chance Cove, NL which was an hour away. We shared some laughs along the way as our warm beverage woke us up. Arriving at our destination an hour before sunrise we headed off on our 20min hike which found us descending down a cliff side to a secluded beach. There was only a breath of wind and the waters were calm(well for Newfoundland standards anyways). As the sun began to rise the clouds above us came to life. Of all the times I have witnessed a sunrise this one topped them all. The cloud formations were amazing and lasted for over an hour. Even as we sat around our fire eating breakfast the clouds were still magical.
Being able to spend this time with my father meant the world to me. Sitting in silence and listening to the water as the color faded out of the clouds was a great reminder that life is about creating memories just like this....
Snowmaking is the production of snow by forcing water and pressurized air through a "snow gun," also known as a "snow cannon", on ski slopes. Snowmaking is mainly used at ski resorts to supplement natural snow. This allows ski resorts to improve the reliability of their snow cover and to extend their ski seasons from late autumn to early spring. Indoor ski slopes often use snowmaking. They can generally do so year-round as they have a climate-controlled environment.
The production of snow requires low temperatures. The threshold temperature for snowmaking increases as humidity decreases. Wet bulb temperature is used as a metric since it takes air temperature and relative humidity into account. Snowmaking is a relatively expensive process in its energy use, thereby limiting its use.

With my evening plans of chasing the Jail south to Leslie killed off by the crew telling me they were going north to Lansing. I left Mason for Grand Ledge instead to light up train L304 heading west to Lake O. When I arrived I made quick work of setting my flashes but that was very quickly put on a dead crawl as I heard something walking through the Tall Grass. With the first lights set i went to figure out what the hell was following me around. Well as I neared the moving grass I saw a dark cute Little cat but it was no cat it was a fucking cute little skunk. Him and I talked for a few minutes and made an agreement we would not interrupt each other. Me foaming him looking for tasty bugs, as I set the lights I saw him several more times and he never gave me any fear or issues. As the crew worked the west end of Ensel they would trip the circuit and the signal popping up to clear.. after the 5th time of this and me grabbing the camera I gave up and sat in my car until I could finally hear the far off distant humm of 645's. A pair of 40-2's and a small train cruise through Grand Ledge passing the former C&O search light.
