My Bio
I am a Jack of all trades, master of none. I do everything I can to enjoy life and I spent a lot of my free time traveling and by that I don't mean trips to the common places everyone goes. I love the mountains and being out on the road, eating at little mom and pop roadside restaurants and the wonderful stomach maladies that come from such places. On these travels I always carry a camera or two, photos you see here are nearly always from my travels throughout the west.

I am active in preserving and documenting railroad history throughout the western United States. Often, this hobby overshadows my photography.

In my spare time, I am the webmaster and one of the head researchers at www.pacificng.com, a growing information archive on 19th century railroading.

I am also Director at large for the Southern Pacific Narrow Gauge Historical Society.

Discussion of railroad history are always welcome!

What a year it has been! When 2010 started I had great plans for what was a going to do: Camp on the coast, road trips, and much more. While a number those plans didn't turn out as hoped, a few great unexpected things did happen. First I'd like to say thanks to the person who purchased a batch of prints from my gallery. I never really expect to sell anything, so I never bother to upload the highest quality versions of my work. Maybe I'll have to start. My involvement in railroad projects across the country continues to grow. While I lament the lack of photographic additions to my gallery (in quantity), my color illustrations have opened the

My non-Railfan friends will likely want to skip this journal post. :P I've uploaded 3 illustrations from a set I am working on which documents the paint styling of a specific piece of railroad equipment, Virginia and Truckee Caboose-Coach 9 (On Display at the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Carson City, Nev). Each illustration is researched using actual paint layer data to recreate the approximate appearance of what the car might have looked. As with all research, one cannot say for sure that this is the end all be all of what they looked like, rather these are combined using period practices, samples from the car during restoration, letters

Hey, thanks so much for the watch! I really appreciate the support :)
Hi,
My brother is a huge train photography fan too. Could you vote on a Union Pacific Commercial Remake? It only takes a moment of your time and would really be helpful. He is using some of his favorite photographs that work for the commercial. Here is the website to vote: [link]
