Union Pacific Railroad GP40 640 at Denver, Colorado on March 13, 1983, Kodachrome by Jim Altman, Chuck Zeiler collection. Although this locomotive left EMD's plant painted as Rock Island 4709, it was owned by the UP and leased to the Rock. When the Rock shut down on March 31, 1980, all but nine of the original 60 GP40's leased were returned to the UP.

UP Centennial 6936 sits at Illinois Railway Museum in Union for IRM's 60th anniversary. Union Pacific brought in the "Centennial" DDA40X, #6936 for display during Labor Day weekend. My dad and I spent an entire day, and into the night for night photos of several Union Pacific locomotives.

Walensee, Switzerland

One of my first attempts at a Polar panorama (rectangular is SO last year). This is looking out over Moab, Utah. Taken with about 13 shots. 9 panning shots and 4 middle-ground fillers.

This was the first chance I had to take any pictures in almost 3 months (god damn you sr year aerospace engineering) so be prepped, tons of more night shots on the way.

Neat trick: if you barrel-roll yourself or your computer fast enough, this shot looks like a normal picture!

This photo was taken from a KIEV-60 medium format film camera with a МС BEГA-26B 2.8/120mm lens using Rollei CN 200 Film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitalized by Photoshop.

Just a few lingering Hummers are around - hopefully a few more will show up after the storm passes tomorrow. I got up early (really!) to get a few shots in. I decided to try for an "extra" close shot. I didn't want to use the macro and risk scaring them.

I used a 300mm lens with a 2X TC and about 56mm of extension tubes for this shot. Starting with decent light which deteriorated with each thing I added to the lens left me with 1/60th of a second at f/13 even at ISO 640 from a distance of about 2 meters. This bird is in flight and you can see all the little blurry wing action. No crop.

What if you came into my room in the morning to wake me up and saw this? How would you wake me?

Skirting along the Truckee River, a stack train is slowing to stop at Truckee where they will have to wait for one coming right at them as the dispatcher runs Amtrak around them.

Thanks for everyone who check out my photos on the eBay instagram account.

Thank you eBay for the great opportunity!

A second example in my collection due to ordering a full case of Matchbox Superfast 50th Anniversary recently and one I certainly don't mind despite my usual indifference to collecting vehicles from this "vintage" era. I'm particularly impressed by the clarity of the tampo detailing to the front upright grille and headlights plus its shimmering metallic gold colour and opening front doors. Mint and boxed.

10 examples of the MX-5 25th Anniversary cars line up, the closest is number 0001 part of Mazda's collection, ours being 4th from the end

Tibby has blonde and fuchsia thermal highlights on to a cinnamon girl scalp. There is a bit of a gap between her scalp and plates but it's hidden under her hairs. Her base....I think was a fancy pansy? She's got a licca body, new lashes and brainworm eye chips. She's so loveable!

Seen flying over our house this morning, quite possibly a Top Gear stunt? It was being chased by two helicoptors; it came down, nearly touched the ground before going back high and trying to cross the Channel.

I was taken by surprise by this little guy while photographing another bug. He just popped up in front of me, and he was such a good boy until the photography session was over.

I am sooo amazed by this insect. Never seen one like it before.

Those eyes....SEXY!!!! Don't you think???? (or maybe they are not even eyes...LOL)

Anyways, I am falling (or fell) in love...again!!!!!

p.s. yeah, right!!!!!!!!!! hehehe

Had to drop my lady friend off at the airport this morning at 5:15 am and I figured I hadn't been up that early in a while so I would walk down the beach and take some pictures. I'm glad I did.

EMD's CP 2209 and UP 4324 lead CP 253 past Lasalle Yard, a nice break from the usual GE's on this and other CP trains.
