My Planes Trains and Automobiles Experience

I actually posted this story a few years ago, but after watching Planes Trains and Automobiles for the thousandth time last night, it seems right to republish my own train travel experience! Although not all went as planned, I must admit that there is something to be said for an experience that one can remember, relish and even write about some fourty years after the fact 🙂

Tunnel Quest

One of my favorite projects was my train tunnel finding adventures. This took all summer a few years ago to locate and photograph with an actual train in the picture! The tracks west of Denver are quite busy though, so it often took only up to an hour of waiting before a train came through, … Continue reading Tunnel Quest →

It finally came back from the Canon repair shop with a broken roller replaced.. whatever that is, and some lubrication, cleaning and refocusing. I've had it back for a little while, but too … Continue reading Excellent Adventure →

I am thinking this entire phase of my life is coming to and end and something completely new is afoot. I had not planned to spend another winter in this town. When Tricia passed last … Continue reading Change Afoot →

Paddlefest

Today turned out to be a pretty big day, the furthest from home I've been in a long time. After years of hoping to photograph the Paddlefest whitewater festival in Buena Vista, I finally made it today. I awoke at 5:00 a.m. and it was foggy and cold so I was tempted to just give … Continue reading Paddlefest →
