Dandenong Ranges National Park. The Thousand Steps. Meditation over.... time to head off for the minute and a half it was probably going to take her to get to the top of all those steps.

I was looking for something at night, I was up when no one else was, I had the wrong days off. I was missing the daylight hours and my chance to get good pictures. I had come a long way I was fit I was healthy I had worked really hard at that. Graveyard work had me wandering the streets at night camera in hand just looking for something.
The people I met were certainly interesting, when they weren’t hostile. A man who travels carving and selling sandstone, who liked living mostly outside and travelling. A guy fresh out of prison rapping, trying to get back together with his girl. You aren't finding anything after dark that will make you feel good out on the streets. One day I was out shopping not for any reason but to not be sitting at home alone. I came across some LED glow sticks on my travels. These lights triggered memories of LAPP and lightpainting I had found out about a couple of years back. I thought about the projections of light through glass. I had dabbled in before, and I knew I had to have these things. I had to get out and try some lightpainting the next time I am out.
I had My green and blue light sticks and I had my camera and nowhere I had to go. I was out again with my camera looking for dark rather than light ready to make my own. I set up where I thought it was dark and got to work. It was pretty underwhelming my first few shots. I was able to adjust my exposure and come home with some abstract shots that I was pretty impressed with. I was full of ideas and knowing I would need to find some darker spots.
I was back out the next week with my two little glow sticks. The hunt was on for a dark spot where I could really experiment and play with my new toys. I found a tunnel on the bike trail that I felt was a pretty dark place. I got to spinning and tracing and using the double light feature the strobe. I was pretty excited for what you could do with just two simple lights. I was experimenting and getting a dialled in exposure (I still didn’t get away from all the light.) I started seeing something that gave me an idea. I had hit a zone I was having the most fun out taking pictures I had in quite a while.
I had an idea in hand and I was having a blast out on a cool wet September night. I wanted to make some circles implying superfast motion like in a cartoon. So I practised taking pictures of myself spinning my sticks running across the frame. It didn't work quite how I wanted but was determined to get something good out of this. I decided to stop short and spin my sticks in opposite directions. I tried it out and stopped short moved my glow sticks along my body to turn them off. Trying to make sure not to let them be still and blow out white in my picture. That was it! I may have had to make a few more tries. The motion of turning off the glow sticks looked like a person to me and put the circles into context. To me, it was an abstract man running at cartoon speeds and is still a favourite picture of mine.
That was when I got hooked on lightpainting. I wouldn't do it more than a handful of times until the August of 2015. I got out to lightpaint with some friends out and decided I needed to do it every week. Getting hooked this way would lead me to The middle of the desert with strangers from 6 countries and many more adventures.

Another Tim Henderson-type truck. I have several more vehicles waiting for parts. The one I can't wait to finish is the all DBG version of my dad's '31 Ford!! Looks great so far. Thanks again for the help Tim!
Indian Runners are an unusual looking domestic duck. An ancient breed, they’re very slender and stand upright... imagine a bowling pin with legs. This waterfowl originated in the Far East, with roots in India and Bali. Hieroglyphics depicting this upright, slender duck appear in ancient Java temple ruins indicating that Runner-type ducks have been around for over 2,000 years. They were first imported into Europe nearly two hundred years ago where they attracted attention because of their tall, upright bodies and their incredible reputation for egg-laying.
Not your average waddler... Runners are busy little bowling pins. These funny ducks never seem to walk anywhere - they’re always moving at a run. It’s not an awkward waddle, either; they’re graceful and surprisingly quick in their upright mode. These birds have an ultra-strong flocking instinct and when they move in groups, they run, turn, and sway with the coordinated precision of highly-trained synchronized swimmers.
Runners are the most active foragers of all ducks. They range over a large area eating mosquito larvae, snails, slugs, weeds, and other edibles. They don't require a pond for good health, but they do really enjoy swimming and are very graceful on the water.

The TTX "4-Runner" was an early 1980s attempt at reducing tare weight in intermodal equipment. Built by ACF in 1981, 101 sets of these four-coupled skeletal flat cars were constructed as class ALF40 and numbered TTFX. 60000-61000. Being the early forerunners of this type of construction, they were tweaked by TTX engineers several times during their lifespan to decrease things like truck hunting and other issues. While these cars did suffer teething problems, those setbacks were refined into the Front Runner, and later the Spine Car design which proved way more successful. The last of these cars were finally scrapped by 2000, but remain a footnote in the evolution of intermodal transport by rail. 1983 processing date, no location or photographer listed. JL Sessa collection.
Daylight HDDCDEN heads west ( timetable north) at MP 545 near Hadley on the Boise City sub. Kansas Pacific met the Pueblo and Salt Lake here while the court sorted it out. KP ROW was against the bluff next to the engines. First RR to be abandoned in Colorado 1877.
The original photo was of a winter beach near Sheboygan's North Point. Photoleap was used to add elements from other photos that I have taken.
I do like murals, and this running fish is another favorite.
