Amtrak 1998, memories from the Rails Past and Future

07.29.2008 by Peter J. Crowley // 1 Comment


Sept 17 1998 Lake Shore Limited

The 90’s were capped with a grand experience! Leaving Springfield Ma. in the late afternoon on an adventure of cross country train travel. I arrived in Albany where we picked up a New engine and combined trains. Two am 1/4-1/2 sec exposure. So for the next few blogs I will treat you to the 10th anniversary images and notes from my last trip. I will be heading out again, in search of a dream.
An hour or so in Albany little sleep prior despite Amtrak’s big comfy seats I was too excited. There was a couple from Belgium across the aisle a graphic designer she with an easy laugh, conversation about US rail and European rail, art cameras. In Albany a Chef who was working on a cook book. Next stop Chicago where the station was immaculate I smiled and shot. More images to come. A return to the rails coming soon.

A Tree
Just a Tree
Much older than thee

Pondering me

A simple Tree
Ponders On

Negative Space

On Wednesday evening I had the pleasure of speaking to the Schenectady Photographic Society. My topic was negative space and how to use it to direct your viewers attention to the subject. There was nothing negative about this group of approximately sixty people who actively contributed to a lively debate on this topic. Negative space is a simple concept yet it is also a very individual concept, one that isn’t found in any program or mode it is a creative choice and interpretation and I came away with as much new thought on the subject as I hope I provided. These folks were certainly the most interactive group I have ever had the pleasure to speak before. They meet on Wednesday evenings at 7:30 all the particulars are on there web site linked above. Meetings are open to the public free and well with it if you are anywhere in the area.                                                        enjoy pjc
