Nickel Plate Road 765 was wyed along the former Cincinnati Northern Railway at Bryan, Ohio for this weekend's employee appreciation trips. In the late 70s, the majority of the line was ripped up between Vandercook Lake, Michigan to Bryan, Ohio, with several other portions remaining from Bryan to Cincinnati. The last steam locomotive to operate on this portion was a New York Central Hudson, which pulled a "end of steam" excursion to Jackson out of Bryan in 1957. In 2012, there was only one customer remaining in Bryan, which ceased rail delivery that year. 765's employee special was probably the last train these rails will ever see.

DeGrazia remembered well the criticism he received in those early days from people who thought his art was no good. They did not like how DeGrazia followed his own rules in art. On one occasion, DeGrazia was sitting Rosita's Mexican restaurant (located next to his gallery) and a man walked in and shouted to him from across the room. He said," Hey! You DeGrazia?!" DeGrazia did not reply, and kept talking with his friend. The man, who obviously did not like DeGrazia, strode over to DeGrazia's table and interrupted him. He said to DeGrazia, "You're that guy who thinks you can paint on whatever you want, right? No rules, you just do whatever you want!" DeGrazia still did not say anything. There was a basket of tortillas on the table, so DeGrazia took one out and began to paint it. When he finished, he took his brush and he autographed the angry man's clean, white shirt. Before the man stormed out, cursing at DeGrazia, the only thing DeGrazia said to him was, "Now I have painted on everything." The man did not bother to take his original tortilla painting with him, so DeGrazia kept it and it is also on display at the Gallery In the Sun. Happy Throwback Thursday!
The truck I drove around when I was stationed at Fort Campbell.
I can't believe I sold a perfectly good euro-spec beetle to buy this thing.
This week’s Throwback Thursday photos are from September 23, 1981 – a 2nd alarm on East 138th Street in the Bronx (FD Box 22-2147).
Just look at this stylishly beautiful Nash! What I found most interesting about this ad is the advertised 15-50mph in 13sec! Whoa!? Ha ha ha ha! We sure have come a long way...
A lot of family cars can do the 1/4mile in what this Nash here can climb up to 50mph from 0, And a handful in what it does it from 15mph!
But then again. Look how stylish it is... Its no Prius! Its beautiful....
This week we go back thirty-one years to 1993 and to 93 KE 1919 in the Phoenix Park.
This bus was a Northern Counties Paladin on a Volvo B10B chassis and was owned by Irish Commercials. It went on lease with Dublin Bus in July 1993 to evaluate its performance. It primarily operated on the 38 and the 40/A, and was based out of Phibsborough Garage. Bus Eireann trialled the bus in Cork and by 1995 it was in Limerick. Bus Eireann at some point bought the bus from Irish Commercials, and it was allocated fleet number VNC 1. While with Bus Eireann, it lost its middle door. It stayed in service in Limerick on the city routes until around 2006 when it was withdrawn. It remained in Limerick Garage until around 2010.
The bus was in the Phoenix Park for a bus rally which used to be a regular event on the calendar.

Throwback to my first ever photoshoot, I was using a semi professional camera and had no clue what I was doing, with my dad at my side we set off with our model, Amy, to a lakeside to get some "glamour" shots. It's funny because this photo was only ever a light reading, I shot it in black and white (yes I know, I was young okay) but when I reviewed my shots afterwards there was just something about it that made it for me.. very successful day, just over a year ago.

I'm having fun revisiting old snapshots and putting a new spin on them. I just wish that, of the nearly 500 snapshots I took over the course of 2015, more of them were of my friends lol
