Two Train Stations

Miles City and Missoula Montana

Train Station - 23 November 2009 - Miles City, Montana - The only common architectual feature between this train station and the one in Missoula are the chains holding up the cover for the passenger platform and the yin-yang accents. The city is thinking about turning the station into office space. They had better pick up the pace - every opening admits countless birds to the interior - which can't be any good.

Lotus Elan S4SE

Boulder, Colorado

Lotus Elan S4SE - Boulder, Colorado - September 1973. This harvest gold example hung around the sports car dealership my entire senior year. In retrospect - I first saw it the year before. It would still be there when I graduated the following June. I REALLY wanted want one of these cars when I was younger. From high-school until my late twenties - the desire was always there. Pentax Spotmatic 35mm F:2.0 Super Takumar w/Tri-X.

Supermarine Spitfire LF16E

London, Ohio Supermarine Spitfire LF16E- London, Ohio - July 1970. Nearly forty years after taking this photograph I found myself appreciating the abstract quality of it and decided to take a second look... This will happen to you if you go over your older images. Only the passage of time might enable you to appreciate why you even took the shot. A case, I suppose, for negatives over digital. Pentax Spotmatic w/24mm F:3.5 Super Takumar on Tri-X.

Pool Break

Dayton, Ohio

Pool Break - Dayton, Ohio - January 1971. Home for winter break - I was just fooling around in the basement. I used the overhead lamp to light the pool table/balls. I side lighted myself with my dads' Bausch & Lomb slide projector. I set the camera on self timer and waited to make the shot. This was my favorite of the series. Honeywell Pentax Spotmatic w/35mm F:2.0 Super Takumar w/Tri-X.

Steam Tractor Covention

Heuston Woods, Ohio

Steam Tractor Convention - Heuston Woods Ohio - June 1970. The people who make the tractors go are at least as interesting as the tractors. I don't remember much about this event. There was, however, a flea market associated with this event. I bought a 1946 Martin fly reel for $26.00. I still have the reel and it has served me well through the years. Honeywell Pentax Spotmatic w/35mm F:2.0 Super Takumar on Tri-X.
