The Stories This Plane Could Tell

Junked Plane, Alaska

This is an image I shot in Alaska. What a great and wonderful state to photograph in. There is a certain quirkiness found there. You drive down the roads and strange things just present themselves. On one of my trips to Denali I took a moment to shoot off to an old train museum.  Where else can I find rust and decay?  While I enjoyed shooting there, next door I found an airplane junk yard. And in this junk yard was just an old plane cockpit. I don’t know where the rest of the plane was, but this is the shot of the cockpit. Kind of has a lot to say.

Trains

Train Car In A Field – Indiana

I have a collection of images made in old and abandoned trains.  I try something new once in a while and sometimes an idea works.  This shot was made of multiple images stitched manually together to form this picture.  This was a from a number of train cars I found abandoned in a filed not to far from my home.  They have since been moved and no longer there.  It was such great place to shoot in once and a while.

Anchor

Anchor, Saugutuck, Michigan

There was this big old steam ship sitting at a dock as a tourist attraction in Saugutuck, MI.  The ship has since been moved to Canada where it will be restored and become part of a ship museum.  I have shot this location a number of times.  The elements of the ship and the old lifeboats have given me plenty of good exposures.  This is the anchor and I like the strength and colors.

Off To Copenhagen

The Round Tower, Copenhagen, Denmark

I am off to Copenhagen today through JFK.  I have a busy week doing a number of different things while in Denmark,   I will be prepping the launch for the 2013 PODAS workshop series as well as meeting with internal depts. and some special customers.  Should have some cool shots of Copenhagen to share along the way.  This image was made in the Round Tower.  A cool place to visit.  Back in the old days the King made this so he could drive his carriage to the highest point in Copenhagen and view his kingdom.  I have walked up this path to the top and all I can say is poor horse.  I do love the light and how it plays with the walls and arches.

Up Close and Personal

Humpback Whale, Newfoundland, Canada

I have had the chance to see a lot of whales through my travels.  Each time is special.  I have a great collection of what I call whale tails.  These are images of the tails of whales as they expose them before a deep dive.  Water pouting off of them and just incredible.  This is a shot of a whale we were real close to in New Foundland.  We were out on a Zodiac looking for whales and whales found us.  I loved the grace of the image and the hump and curve of the whale as it swam next to us.

Think COLD

Iceberg Antarctica, Think Cold

I live in Indianapolis and like a lot of the US we are just dying in a major heat wave that will not go away.  Temperatures are forecasted in the 100 plus range for the next two days.  So, I am sending cold thoughts and will publish nothing but ice shots until this weather breaks.  This is an iceberg from Antarctica.

Rusty Ships

Rust On The River, Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is a very interesting city to visit.   Beautiful and sometimes dangerous but also mysterious.  The shipyard area which is dangerous so I am told is cool place to take pictures but probably not the greatest place to visit.  No one told me that though.  So, liking rust and all I came across docks full of rusty boats and if they weren’t at the docks someone drove them down the river, grounded them and walked away.  An awful lot of junk and rust and you know how I like rust.  This is one of the resting hulks.  Always wish I knew the back story.  How did it get there, when, why etc.
