Simple Pleasures...

Planes, Trains & Automobiles

I was able to get access to some prime real estate in New Jersey for a shot of a Norfolk Southern intermodal train paralleling the New Jersey Turnpike and Newark International Airport.

And the catering wasn't too bad either! Swedish meatballs...

Behind the Scenes: Bend Your Knees

Yep, the excitement of road trip photo shoots is pretty much summed up in this picture: heavy camera cases, padlocks and bungee cords in the back of a Honda Element...Bend Your Knees.

Back from New Jersey...

I spent most of last week up in Northern New Jersey, photographing trains and cargo terminals...I think my lungs will be recovering for a couple more weeks. For the better part of a morning I was hanging out of a helicopter, shooting video with my Nikon D90 & stills with a D3. I mounted a KenLabs gyroscopic stabilizer to the base of my Captain Stubling rail system- heavy, but effective.


I've got some more footage to edit down into a movie about the July Critical Mass in Norfolk. Maybe I'll get some time for that tomorrow.

Coming Soon to Downtown Norfolk: Bike Racks!

I got a call Friday afternoon from the Downtown Norfolk Council, telling me that my proposal for a bike rack sculpture had been accepted.

It looks like it'll be at least 6 months until the sculptures are installed. Which gives me time to get a few more built by the Norfolk Machine & Welding Company, and sold to local businesses in need of functional, attractive bicycle parking.
