This hardware store has been in continual operation for over 100 years in Chestnut Hill, PA. This road, Germantown Avenue, still has stone roadways and trolley car tracks (the trolleys don't run anymore). The store still has the old, creaky wooden floors and ancient shelving. And virtually anything you could want from a hardware store.
Just a couple that I ran across this morning from 2014 that caught my eye.
This one was on my way home from working in New Orleans. I remember slamming on the brakes to pull over and snap a few... :)
Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, Guilford has gotten some fame as one of the last holdouts for GP9s in the northeast, with most of the local jobs around Waterville being covered by a pair of them. Fast forward fifteen years, and most of them have been retired, but somehow, three have somehow managed to stick around, and two have even been painted in heritage colors. Two of the three survivors, Boston & Maine painted 77, and Guilford painted 72, haul SAPPI-3 west along the Kennebec River, filling the hillsides with the sweet music of their 567 engines.
Another throwback to the ol' gallery. This was the time I got all my friends (Some were more acquaintances) to fit on the double-decker couch.
It's a bit of a reminder of all the friends I had then. Unfortunately a lot of them are gone now... So, here's hoping I'll be making some friends here! :D
1952 Buick Riviera

Let's rewind the clock to 2008 and head back to the Midwest. A pair of ex-Conrail motors heads up a Gibson-bound autorack train on the IHB. Grasselli Tower was preserved and moved to the Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum in 2009.
These two F7s resting in Ranlo, NC in the Lehigh Valley scheme were purchased by the P&N to lead the annual Santa Train, but ultimately were determined to be unususable and were sent away. These units were originally built for the Chicago & N'western in 1949.
I haven't been able to get trackside recently with my busy month at work, so here's one from the archives. A YN1 road slug leads a rail train through Blue Island Junction back in July of 2005.
One year ago, I snapped this shot of a foraging Zebra Dove at a beach in Kauai. I didn't realize how cool the composition was until now. The low-angle shot and the grass blades framing the zebra finch, all made me feel as if I were foraging with that Zebra Dove.
Looking back in my camera roll also made me realize how much I improved. Many of my photos then were overexposed and out of focus. Also, why did I need to take 50 photos of the same plant? This makes me proud when I say my current camera roll is so much cleaner.
Throwback with a fashion twist. Bubbles, Blossom & Buttercup... #ThePowerpuffGirls by Hayden Williams.
..to a couple months ago. Forgot to post this neat consist that was on the point of a LINGAL manifest, caught in Burlington, Ia.

Tay và môi anh sao lạnh ?
Mắt và tình anh sao buồn ?!
Tôi chập chờn trong cơn chớm ngủ với ý nghĩ kì lạ đó .
Con người đó có một thân nhiệt thật kì lạ .…
Throwback Thursday to those hot Summer, halcyon days in Amsterdam. While we were there, we had the opportunity to experience a local record-breaking heatwave. The mercury hit 42°C for a couple of days straight. This week we have the polar opposite, where temperatures are barely going above -15°C during the daytime.
Photographed almost 10 years ago, many camera bodies and lenses ago. I used this image as the logo on my website for many years. I no longer have my website, because most of my sales are generated through Flickr, 500px, Getty Images and Facebook.
Thank you to everyone that follows my photography journey <3 It's been a blast and I've learned so much. I still have so much to learn and photograph.
A special thank you to Graham (Hammerchewer) who was always so generous with his time and expertise. I learned quite a bit from you. More than I did when I took photography courses in college :)
I had no idea what I was doing when I snapped this pix!

The end of a damp October day is near as Finger Lakes Railway GS2 rumbles west through Seneca Falls, NY with there New York Central inspired painted locomotives on NYC tracks passing NYC structures.
Some random 80s/90s era comic characters that don't actually exist. Please come up with good names, I can't think of any I like. :P
Sometimes it's fun to go back and re-edit pictures that you took when you were 16. I'm seriously craving some creative picture taking time. Focusing on class and graded photo projects can really take the creativity and fun out of making art. My goal for this upcoming break is to take photos just because, with no reason other than to marvel at the beauty and goodness of God.
An appropriate throwback as we sadly bid farewell to the highhood GP50's. NS 7047 and a now likely stored B32-8 switch out a ethanol train at the north end of Doraville Yard in Doraville, GA in 2010. The 7047 was one of the last active 50's but is now a GP33ECO abomination.
