There was a period of time when I was out of photography due to film related cost and the lack of a darkroom. I started taking a few images after digital came on the scene to support my Genealogical research. About that time my grandson developed an obsession with trains. We spent many hours watching trains together. I started photographing the trains. As of this date I have images of over 5000 different locomotives. It was train photography the got me started trying to do thing correctly again.
One thing I am not that good at is still life's or table tops. I was recently given a train statuette. It means a lot to me so I decided to give photographing it a try.
Not all that great but better than I expected as the only light I had was a Mini-Mag Flashlight. Rest assured you will see this little beauty again.
After an absence from doing photography on a regular basis I decided to do a-picture-a-day-for-a-year project. As a direction I am attempting to use modern images where possible to relate times in my photographic past. As I am no longer a spring chicken, I can get philosophical some times. As a Christian I often see God possibly using me and my photography to send short messages. I hope you enjoy these images as much as I have enjoyed making them around Monroe, NC. TheElmo

Looks good. Do you need to borrow my light box? :) I could tell you how to shoot it if it were more orange and/or round.
