Throwback Thursday: one of my earlier attempts at night photography, 2015, when the night bug was starting to hit me hard, lol. It’s interesting to see the changes in techniques and, more importantly, changes in my own personal taste and aesthetics over time. The details are somewhat obscure because I was using a Nikon 14-24 mm lens on a Canon camera, but I think this was done at 14 mm, f2.8, 30 sec, ISO 6400. This is also an early use of Low Level Lightning.
It was a beautiful summer day in Holland this sunday. Brings back good memories of the summer vibe at Guadeloupe. :-)
One from what feels like a millennia ago, well, 2014 :) I spent 90 minutes in the freezing cold Lake Wanaka with leaky waders, seemed like a good idea at the time. Anyway, this is one of the shots captured on that fortunate night.
To remember a time when sitting on a tree wasn't so offensive...

Exactly 5 years ago today, I visited Japan for just 5days.
I visited my birth place too. I was born in Kakunodate town.
Kakunodate is a former castle town and samurai stronghold in today's Akita Prefecture. While Kakunodate Castle no longer remains, the town is famous for its samurai tradition and its hundreds of weeping cherry trees (shidare-zakura).
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
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.
With the throttle jammed over to the left, DME 6366 and friends offer quite the show as they twist up Stockton Hill on another sunny day a few years ago. 4/4/2015.

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.
For Throwback Thursday.
My father's friend, Eddie VanVaulkenburg. He couldn't read or write, except to sign his name but as a hobby, built homemade tractors. He didn't simply modify old trucks to create a "doodlebug" or makeshift tractor. He actually built these totally from scratch and his own design. This is one of his early ones and I wish I had some pictures of his later ones which were hard to distinguish from factory made machines. He worked as a janitor and night watchman at the tool and die machine shop where my father worked and they allowed him to build these there in his off time.
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.
September 18, 1999 brings me back to Scott St watching trains with my grandparents. One of my better attempts at using a camera at the ripe old age of 9....
Little did I know at that time that the memories spent with my grandpa watching trains would so drastically steer my life in the direction it has. If it weren't for him, who knows where the hell I'd be in life. I still smile every now and then when I'm at work passing spots that we would watch trains together. Man, I miss them...
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!

..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.
A throwback of the main hall/ballroom of quite a famous derelict asylum in the north of the UK. Much of the site has now been redeveloped into a housing estate and the hospitals main hall and admin/services are now receiving some much needed attention in the way of renovation. It's good to see such grand and historical buildings retained and put to new use : )
