Some day I want to try doing some short form videos in the same style as my photos. But I’m so sick of that format being shoved down our throats, that I’m very hesitant to do so. Also I’d need to learn how to edit video with some new app. I’d rather continue banging my head against Lightroom’s bugs.

Last night was the 13th anniversary of the day that the Giant Rubber Duck arrived in #Pittsburgh, and honestly it was one of my favorite nights of photography. This was the only night that it wasn't parked by the fountain at the Point, creating some unique and fun images.

A pair of Cleveland Works switchers pull a hot metal train with molten iron splashing out of a bottle car. Steel mills are wild! And that sunset was pretty nice too.

To celebrate new trainsets entering revenue service soon, here's a photo I took back in July of this same new Airo set crossing Portland's steel bridge during one of the early test runs. Really excited for the future of @amtrakcascades.wsdot.wa.gov! #filmphotography #hasselbladxpan

Pink Sunset at West Silvertown One of the perks of sitting at the front of a DLR train, besides pretending to be the driver, is getting to enjoy views like this beautiful pink sunset.

A view from the end of the platform at Hoboken Terminal at sunset.
A NJ Transit Geep passes under the signal tower, while the coach yard shops are visible in the distance and the sun is coloring the sky shades of yellow with catenary crisscrossing above the viewer.

Here’s a photo from a mostly empty parking garage in Springfield. I parked here for the New England Prototype Modelers Meet, and had to stay for a few extra minutes to take photos. I love neat brutalist setting (at least aesthetically - they often have lots of usability problems from poor design).

A view from the shadow of a grain elevator looking across the Maumee River towards another grain elevator and a railway bridge in Toledo. I like the little fan protecting shrouds on the Geep switcher in the center. And the roof mounted “torpedo tubes” air tanks are a neat historic detail.

I want to try this shot again with more time/stamina, and my “real” camera and tripod. This is a black and white photo of my friend’s Mazda3 in an old industrial loading dock alley with brick and corrugated metal.

“Fun” discoveries while suffering as a live chemistry experiment (since none of my allergens show up in tests): my MCAS is so bad that I’m actually allergic to the main medication used to treat MCAS. Not just all the fillers they use in most commercial meds, mind you, the actual med itself. Why.

It was so bad in fact, that a fellow disabled NYC elevator user complimented me on my efforts to use the system in my scooter. Somehow even the MBTA is better at accessibility than NYC. I genuinely like NYC a bit less now that I’ve seen this side of it and had to start adding 50% to my travel times.

Random disabled urbanist complaint: the NYC subway network is so bad at accessibility and elevators in particular that I’m now thinking I should drive down instead of taking the much more pleasant train to visit one of my favorite cities. So infuriating.

I really need old people to stop saying stuff like “when you’re my age your body will [x]” when they can still walk up stairs and I can’t without triggering a flare up of my illness. Old people constantly assume they’re more disabled than everyone else, and that’s often not true and I’m sick of it.
