went to the quarry to see if the cubs are out already. haven't seen the youngsters but a very proud and healthy mum :-)
It seems odd that this late winter day was approaching 15 years ago.
Here Soo 6039 & 6036 are leading X500 east after a crew change at Wyoming Yard. X500 was the single remaining CP trackage rights train operating across Michigan on CSX's Grand Rapids and Plymouth subdivisions. More often than not the power would be grungy CP GE's but every so often us Michigan railfans would be thrown a bone.

Drifting up to the Adolph crossing as they prepare to enter yard limits of Proctor. It's another example of how crappy the weather has been for photography for the last month or so. All EMD old school still is worth going after though.
i shoulda thought this through a little more and keep these last catch-up uploads a bit more chronological, eh? :P my emotions get all out of order, haha. backtrack a bit to summer 2013 for this one, sort of a sequel i suppose to my original walking on water shot from 2011 - even using the same oar: www.flickr.com/photos/karrah_kobus/5995642749/
and here is the original description i wrote with this photo:
sometimes i have to wonder why i beat myself up so bad. i try to be perfect. i try to take the perfect photograph. i try to say the perfect thing, be the perfect person for everyone. sometimes i catch up with myself and remember that "perfect" isnt real. and my perfect, isnt even your perfect, and in the end it all makes so little sense. its silly, because i always feel the worst about myself when i havent been making photos, but i havent been making photos because i feel inferior... and ive been sharing even less because i feel my work isnt where i want it to be. its an old habit that truly has been dying hard - i need to be reminded that im strong and beautiful and worthwhile, cause we all are, arent we? it seems even more silly that my whole world can be rocked so deeply by what was once, not long ago, just a hobby, and a dream. a new little spark in my soul... something i simply craved being "good" at, without even knowing how badly i NEEDED it.
im quite used to giving pep talks at workshops, speaking passionately about following your dreams and never giving up no matter what life throws in your way - even when its yourself. and while i mean every word, im not quite as good at giving these talks to myself. though today im forcing myself to be brave and share a piece of me with the world - because i know deep down, its what i live for and its throwing these little pieces out into the universe that builds me up. im pretending til my mind believes that im triumphant again. like im on solid ground, even if im not.
as always, to book your own shoot, workshop, buy prints/license images, or just to chat email karrahbkobus@gmail.com.

Back in the summer of 1995, I was exposing oddles of K64 on Cedar Rapids and Iowa City's road job.
Where else in the Midwest could a solid set of 1950s era motive power be chased on a daily basis? The sights and sounds of the past would soon be silenced by newer power and re-routes.
Solid Snake - Metal Gear Solid
Took me like 5 months mainly because I'm lazy. My favorite thing I've made by far.
A little male kinglet with his crown exposed. The females have a solid yellow crown patch. Kinglets are hyper-active and a frustrating bird to photo. They can see your lens move to focus and fly before you can press the shutter release! Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Solid Rock
Goanna
Out here nothin' changes
Not in a hurry anyway
You can feel the endlessness
With the comin' of the light o' day
You're talkin' 'bout a chosen place
You wanna sell it in a marketplace
Well
Well just a minute now
You're standin' on
Solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
Right down the line
It’s not often (ever really) that I’ll take the camera out in the midday sun. It’s even more rare that it won’t be on a tripod.
Broke both of these self imposed rules on Sunday. We had been driving for a while, and my girls needed lunch, so a man is taking his life into his hands when he wants to stop roadside to have a look at a ‘composition’.
I jumped down into the scrub, watching step by step for any sign of an over friendly snake, and knocked out a few quick hand held images.
Hope you like ‘“Solid Rock”
Cheers, Mike
UBO Cruiserweight Asia Pacific Title – 8 x 3 Minute Rounds
Ben Kelleher (New Zealand) vs Satria Antesena (Indonesia)
Ben won by K.O
Inside a long-abandoned ore processing plant in the first week of spring this year, when it was still bitter cold and several inches of ice caked the floors.
The place has a rusty cheese grater for a roof, and all the precipitation rains right down on the machinery in some places. These appear to be some sort of rotating drums to wash the finished product.
