Updates

I've just redone my Creative Site
Click the link at right to access it
It has more photography and new pottery pics up.

I shutter at the thought!


I took hundreds of pictures yesterday,
took the afternoon and evening heading West, ending up at the lake waiting for dusk and sunset.
It was not disappointing.

Trying to get lost






Today after work I went out on the back roads looking for photographs.
Farther and farther chasing after the elusive sunlight which was being stolen by the bank of clouds sliding underneath it. Chasing animals and light, I turned on roads which led to trails,



The trails went to low spots, where with the spring runoff,
they were impassible, so off the trails I drove into the fields full of
geese, ducks and sandhill cranes, flying wildly away from my coming.

In the end darkness prevailed,
but for this night,
and rain in it's blanket
encouraged the welcome warmth of soup.

The sun shall rise again.

Crazy new Camera




A pic from my new Nikon D80!
So complex and beautiful and so much to learn.
I'm hoping to unlock it's many secrets over the next few months.

This shot is from Duval.

Getting off track


Update on the train...

Seems that a set of wheels came loose and were dragging down the middle of the track for around five miles.

hmmm

Getting on track


I've started a series of photo collages about the railway, and providentially this week a train provided an interesting subject.
It appears that the train was dragging some very heavy object, as the ties leading up to the crossing had deep depressions in them.
The crossing itself had a deep rut torn down the centre.

The collage consists of around 200 pictures and will likely be around 3feet by 9feet
