I got home last night from a 3-day trip to Maine to match up with Caleb Wentzell to shoot the final days of Pan Am before CSX takes over on June 1st. I'm normally not one for multi-day trips, and as Caleb could tell you I hemmed and hawed a lot before finally deciding to go (with my wife's blessing, of course). But, though I had shot SAPPI-3 and MD-1 in 2008 and 2009 with GP9s (and at least one trailing GP7), that was it for my Guilford/Pan Am coverage east of Wells. So, as I figured, it was now or never...
On Day 1 (Monday, May 16th), I left home in New York around 0600 and was able to catch a POAY with four, blue C40-8s at North Berwick on my way to Waterville (where our motel was). But, that wasn't new territory for me, so a "one and done" and I was back on the road headed for Waterville. Just as I came to where the former Maine Central "Upper Road" crosses under I-95 in Auburn, however, my eye caught slowly-moving boxcars, and then three, blue GP40s pulling the train. I had stumbled upon PORU, so I would for sure be making a detour before continuning to Waterville. A somewhat backlit shot of them crossing the Androscoggin River in Lewiston followed, as well as one more shot at a crossing east of there. When they got to Danville Junction, they of course sat, then sat some more. Apparently MOW was on the tracks in Leeds and needed to clear up first.
By the time they got moving again, full sun was gone, but some filtered sun still made things okay. One of my favorites from this PORU chase was here at Leeds. With open engine compartment doors and smoke pouring out of the trailing 381, to me it was a perfect picture to represent the tail end of the Guilford/Pan Am era!
ST Train PORU
Leeds, Maine
May 16, 2022
Taken in Cloud Wood, Leicestershire.
Fifth visit today with two primary objectives:-
1: Obtain shots of White-Letter Hairstreak, which we have seen them on one visit but they were in the tops of a Tree, and
2: Underwing shots of Silver-washed Fritillary, we have loads of open wing and have seen them on every visit.
These are the shots from this visit, both objective's achieved.
Well, I guess I joined the SAS to get a little more action and respect compared to the standard military. Of course I had to train for it, They don't just let any average Joe or Dave into the most elite Task Force on Earth. My interests are of classic warfare. Much simpler wars they ahd back then. Only Atomic bombs. Nothing Nuclear like we have now."
Cpt. -CLASSIFIED- (1126) , 12th December 2079
Objective Two
You will notice less foliage around you 1126, You are drawing closer to the compound. Stay behind whatever cover you can get, There are constant Light APC patrols keeping an eye of the dirt roads leading to the compound. PMC's run these patrols, They are faithful to whoever can pay them the most. The rich European Ambassadors' pay them their wages for the PMC's 'services'. Get into the compound any way you can. Don't aleart anyone of this whole Mission is over"
101 Oil Studies, No. 19
Objective: Test Winson & Newton Indian Red as initial wash color; gain experience with linseed oil.
Painted in 9 working sessions from 25 March to 30 April 2024.
Pigments (Winsor & Newton Artists' oil colour): Indian Red, terra rosa, burnt umber, Vandyke brown, yellow ochre, Naples yellow, terre verte, Winsor violet, zinc white. Mediums: Gamsol, linseed oil.
Centurion OP DLX oil primed linen, 30.4 x 22.9 cm (12 x 9 inches)
Painted during Maria Cole's drawing/painting class at the New Mexico Art League studio. The difference in the color of the two birds is the use of terre verte, left bird, to desaturated the Vandyke brown in both birds. Maria suggested using Winsor violet to darken the interior ot the bowl--very effective!
After Action Evaluation: (1) Go easy on the linseed oil. Areas here were too heavily saturated, which delayed progress and added more sheen than desired. (2) Compare to Alla Prima Study 3 (in my Oil Painting album), which also uses one of these figurines. Even though I still like the earlier paiting, what a difference thirteen months make.
I love the intensity of these little birds!!!
*Updated description- I have learned from our family cat "Sam" (who watchs these birds tirelessly)... that these little birds aren't intense at all! He tells me that they are light hearted, energetic (to be sure) little creatures that flit around all day HUMMING famous broadway show tunes... like "Singing in the Rain".
After all... they are HUMMING BIRDS!!!

When Edward Burtynsky (1955- ) turned his attention to China in 2000, it seemed a natural continuation of the photographs he had been creating for over twenty years. Universally termed "industrial landscapes," his images focus on the environmental and cultural impact of Man-made technologies. In 'Manufacturing #10' Burtynsky unearths a beauty in his subjects, striking a nuanced balance between the harsh objectivity of the works' documentarian context and the finesse of contemporary art photography.
Burtynsky's oversized works have a sense of grandiosity and monumentality. There is an initial visual appeal of vibrant colors, details and scale; however, on closer inspection, the environmental dilemma unfolds. They are introspective and meditative, capturing a 'contemplative moment' where landscapes provide visual and emotional resonance.
Subjectively Objective #1"
I'm very excited to show you a brand new conceptual series I've been shooting the past month! A nice change from my norm subject matter of travel, lifestyle, landscapes, models, and nature. Retro / old "gems" in simple environments. Subtle colors, angular uncluttered compositions.
I hope you enjoy...

Hubby found this huge field of mustard on one of his bike rides...which around here in spring is no special thing...but this one is different...it was taller than me, and I ain't no shorty...5'6"in bare feet. I had to stand in the bed of the truck to get this shot...lol
Definitely looks better on black:

For those that might have missed the narrative in yesterday’s snowflake post, I figured this should be seen on its own: a 20:1 super close-up of just a single branch of a snowflake, shot handheld and focus stacked.
The resolution of details in this version of the snowflake is more than double when compared to my 12X setup, due in part to greater magnification and part because diffraction is playing less of a role here. Both of these help with the details, but it’s also the reason why most people don’t think shooting this kind of image handheld is even possible.
When you get closer to your subject, your depth of field becomes shallower. The difference would absolutely be noticeable here, pushing the number of focus “slices” up. Only a tiny sliver of the snowflake is viewable at a time, and the closer you get the smaller it becomes. This isn’t the only factor that affects depth of field, however. We also have to be concerned about aperture.
The way a microscope objective collects light doesn’t usually involve an aperture (also referred to as an iris or a diaphragm). One can be added just behind the lens in order to gain greater depth of field, but this causes diffraction to blur the resulting image slightly and you lose details. If you shoot without anything narrowing the path of light you’ll have the best details but an even thinner slice of focus to work with. While I built an aperture assembly into my microscope lens, I didn’t use it for this.
A snowflake usually takes around 40 or so shots to focus stack, but roughly the same number of shots to get just the tip of a branch in focus. I’ve missed a few pieces that you can see if you REALLY know where to look. All of the frames needed to be manually aligned which was incredibly time consuming and tedious, and more manual corrections that usual were needed in the focus stacking process.
I don’t think I’ll be handholding this lens for anything that doesn’t outright require it, but I now have 20X and 100X microscope objectives to play with. As soon as the spring flowers are here I know I’ll have an unending supply of interesting subjects from insects to pollen. For now, I’ll continue to embrace the snow!
If you’re fascinated with the details you can discover in a snowflake, you’ll absolutely enjoy reading my book Sky Crystals: www.skycrystals.ca/book/ - it provides an entire photographic tutorial alongside all of the beautiful and understandable science that makes snowflakes take the shapes they do!

the fantastic Audrey is taking over my photo stream!!!! :D shes great to work with and as a photographer herself she does wonderfully
Es habitual que cuando un año nuevo comienza, proponernos alcanzar nuevos objetivos. Este año, mi objetivo principal será perder todo el peso posible, porque tengo una dolencia en mi pie izquierdo y cada año el dolor es más grande, y en invierno es insoportable. Así que comienzo el año con esta foto y esta cara. Un fuerte abrazo a todos.

Is common when a new year begins, aim to achieve new goals. This year, my main objective will lose all the weight possible, because I have a bad left foot and every year the pain is greater, and in winter is unbearable. So start the year with this photo and this face. A big hug to all.
"World War 3 began on the 25th of August 2080, After the corruption and Bribery claims in the UN Council were proved true. Countries started their own empires. The war was mostly in Europe, where the once great European Union were now sending death threats to each other. Now as I record this message, 8 years after war broke out I am sending my best operative to end the war. Let us all hope he succeds in his mission. God save the Queen."

Objective one:
To eliminate Johnson, you must make your way into his fortified compound. It is located 2 miles West of Berlin and heavily fortified. After you drop, Make your way along the path system that surounds the compound. Old Pilons and Communication towers will indicate how close you are. The more the merryer. Look out for scout partols, although they consist of untrained idiots. They are no harm to you. Take them out quietly, but I will let you choose how to 'dispose' of them"

Ok, A fresh start for me. This is the first part of a Vignette series I'm making set during the Third World War. It won't make much sense at this stage, so look out for the next parts!

The plan was simple,
Get the Fuck off Rhen Var.
Fy'Sha and I were tired. Collecting artefacts is not our thing. When we got our objective we couldn't of been happier. We were leaving. We set up supports in the tomb and wired them up with explosives. I used our communications station as a trigger for the trap. When it short-cirucuted, It would catch fire to the wires and therfore detonating the explosives. It was all so seemingly simple.
Problem 1, as I lay resting on the floor my right arm froze to the ground. I had to remove my armour or my arm itself. We began executing the plan and taking our satchels of artefacts with us. The wires began to tense up and then they snapped. Flying in all directions. One hit Fy'Sha in the leg as we were running to the exit of the tomb. His leg was broken. I turned to face him and help him. He raised his DC-15 at me and prepared to shoot. Then he said a sentance that will haunt me untill I die.
"It's been an honour Sir, but the mission comes first"
I knew what he mean. If I hed been there now I would of stayed and perished with him. CT-1212 was the bravest man I ever met. I was born with him, I grew up with him, I trained with him, I fought with him but I didn't die with him. Now I see the Republic how it really is. Corrupt, Using us Clones as pawns in a corrupt diplomatic war. Fuck the Republic.
