Dead Train Moving

November 24, 2010

For months I have wanted to shoot this old train.  I found it tucked away in a corner of a town in Northeast Georgi; almost as if it was left there and forgotten.   Sometimes I find things that have nothing to do with people or portraits and I am drawn to them.  This is one of those examples.

As I look at the outside windows it seems that the train is in motion and passing life by outside.  And that is what it I am sure happened so many time so long ago.

The kids and I spent the Christmas week in North Georgia on Lake Hartwell.  The wife has abandoned us (ok not really, but it sounds better) to go see her father in India.  So the kids were left to our own devices and ended up having a blast togther.

Below are a series of images I took during the week.  The portait work is really just some fun, personal work;  Nothing outstanding, just fun stuff.  The landscapes: I wanted to try and capture the cold that has been running through Georgia this month.

As always, let me know what you think!!

I had a hard time with the below 2.  I could not decide if I liked the color or BW version better.  I shot this with the intent of turning it into a BW.  But in looking at it, I really think I like the color better.

Our two very good friends!!

I shot this @ 2.8 with an ISO of 8,000.  I am still amazed that I can do that!

And my favorite people in the world………..
