Primary Election Day in Hawaii. While the wife voted absentee at the mall
last week, I always like to hit the polls. It's raining, UH has a game this
afternoon, and primaries in a non-U.S. presidential election years are
always slow... We'll see how much the Akaka/Case and 2nd Congressional
District races do for turnout.
First things first. I need your VOTE for this shot in the Alaska Railroad's 2022 calendar contest that is ongoing now through January 20th. If you have a Facebook account please click here to vote for this shot:

But I figured I should put this image on Flickr to since this shot is unquestionably my favorite of all time. And with it in the contest I must of course share the story behind it.
As I shared in my earlier post here from 2011, the Hurricane Gulch Bridge was my personal "holy grail" of photography in Alaska. After finally finding the spot and carving a trail in, I continued to return over the intervening five years and really got all kinds of trains in different seasons. But, the problem with my secret spot is that it is only a morning shot because you are shooting due west toward the the bridge. Getting to one of the ridges west of the bridge was simply impossible. There was no trail and to bushwhack that far and find an open spot (that may not even exist) was something that I knew I could never accomplish.
But as the years passed technology developed and "drones" started to become more and more common among my fellow photographers and railfans. In the early summer of 2016 a generous spouse surprised we with a Phantom 4. I took the time to learn how to use and and grow more and more confident and by the end of the summer I finally had the courage to risk it and try for the "THE" shot.
On Monday the 19th of September the final Hurricane Turn of the season made it's trek north from Talkeetna to its namesake bridge to turn back for the last time until the following May. The fall colors were spectacular so I made the long trip from Anchorage, hiked in my secret trail a mile off the highway, and waited. The train was late this day and I had no cell service so couldn't call the chief dispatcher and radio chatter was light.
But just before packing up I heard them on the radio and got the drone ready. Taking off from my secret camp site on the ridge was a bit challenging given the small hole in the trees above, and the flight to the other side of the bridge was a rather long and nerve wracking 2/3 of a mile. But the flight was a success and this is just one of many of shots it yielded....but unquestionably my favorite.
I had been shooting trains in Alaska for nine years at this time, and this shot was truly a dream come true! It just all came together this day. I honestly only wanted a drone for this one shot.....and I pulled it off! So no matter what I post here in the future the king has been crowned and this image will reign at the top for all time.
A large shimmering metal print hangs proudly in my house. A reminder of a day for the ages!

Old image from The People's vote March. I liked the way the sun caught the stars in her eyes. She was very vocal.
Dudes and dudettes,
I entered my "Dog Guitar" photo into a contest. If you feel inclined, I would be oh-so-thrilled if you would vote for me.
I think you have to have a password for Photrade, but its free to get one.
Henry in red, white and blue. Proud today to have voted for his future. May it be a good one.

The word voted is a past tense form of the word vote. It is an action which makes it a verb. If you don't vote you don't want freedom of choice you want freedom from choice like the old song by Devo. Trump will be certain to give you freedom from choice and freedom from living in a democracy as well.
More from the UFO Watchtower in Hooper, Colorado. Please vote the fuckers out. Let’s actually try to evolve!

The likable robotic Turtle is exploring an alien planet to prepare the landing of the famous Exo Suit when he/she (one day we should choose, maybe voting…or rolling a dice) runs into the pathetic evildoers of the First Order, in the form of a Stormtrooper patrol.
“Hey look! A turtle droid!” Exclaims one of the Stormtroopers.
“Are you sure it’s a droid? It can be a real turtle inside an armor.” The other Stormtrooper objects.
“A turtle inside an armor?! Where do you get these ideas?”
“Well, I thought if we can build a super weapon of plot destruction that violates any known law of physics someone could put a turtle in a armor…”
“That’s a good point” declares the first Stormtrooper.
“But who cares? I say to kill this thing and have some fun”
“Yeah but we torture it first!”
“Of course! Ha Ha!”
Our robotic friend moves the head up and down, looking at the silly troopers and as they attempt to draw their weapons the brave Turtle fires the blaster cannons putting the two First Order servants out of commission.
Next time the followers of the Tantrum Knight will think twice before bothering our little friend because…
No one messes with the Space Turtle.
Now it’s time to go back to exploration duties.
Those First Order Stormtroopers always end up in such unpleasing situations hehe :)
I hope you like this photo :)
May the Brick be with You :)
