Bernie Feltman General 42 years tends to "re-write" a lot of those rules, Bob !!! 4/28/2014 5:16:42 AM
Fred Stuckmann General Nice to see one of them clean. 4/29/2014 3:27:45 PM
Tom Beckett General I have taken enough of these shots over the years to realize that a lot of times, the shot you thought of as a throwaway, or not so hot, looks a lot better 25(or 40) years later, more so if the subject is no longer available. The changed perspective you get over time makes you look at things differently, and you realize that not every train photo has to be a 3/4 view. I think a shot liek this captures the essence of railorading. I can almost smell the creosote and spilled oil ground into the dirt. Nicely done. I like it. Great album, too. Of all the roads I didn't get a good look at in the 70's, I probably miss EL the most, so I've really been enjoying this. 3/2/2015 1:24:32 AM
