I realize I haven't posted much lately and I realize this looks remarkably similar to my last image. Basically I'm stuck here in the apartment with no prop outfits that fit me anymore. I don't have enough room to use my 50mm beyond head shots. My creativity has been completely stunted because of this.

But I was hell bent on making a picture today so I went digging through the apartment and found some baby powder. Decided to throw it at myself and see what happened. And after about 30 minutes of baby powder filling the bathroom and 4 hours of playing around in photoshop, this is what I created.

I like it...I do. But I'm hesitant to really say I'm PROUD of it. Because I didn't really push myself in this image and, as I said before, it's remarkably similar to things I have done over and over. However, I DID create something with the limited space and supplies I have. And because of this I have decided to use a small part of my next paycheck and find the perfect prop dress (that fits me!) at a thrift store. And then I want to dedicate at least one or two Fridays a month to visiting locations and shooting images. (Why Friday? It's the only time my husband and I have off)

So I want to change my stuckness. I want to become an amazing photographer and I want to inspire people and teach people and provide blooming and established artists with means of connecting. I want to do so much in this field...it's just taking me forever to achieve it. Because I keep. getting. stuck.

After a visit to Crewe for some TLC, GB Railfreight's 92020 catches the eye of a traveller waiting for her train as the stunning Class 92 leaves Crewe on 0Z92 to Wembley Traincare Depot.

92020 had been on three test runs to Stafford and back a couple of days previously and passed with flying colours. After an A Exam upon its return to Wembley, the locomotive was expected to return to action on the Caledonian Sleeper.

A definate go see! Amazing building and great surroundings!

70013 just about fits on the turntable at Minehead, ready for the journey back to London. This engine weighs 94 tons plus the tender coal and water and has to be balanced front and back to enable the Loco to be manually turned around by hand.

If you have ever seen The Beatles film, " A Hard Days Night ", in the film they used Minehead Station for filming some parts of the movie including the old turntable, however this one is a replacement
