Railfanning is like fishing
Title:  Railfanning is like fishing
Description:  Railfanning is like fishing. You go out to odd places at all times of the day, wait for hours and never really know what you're going to catch. It's a hobby that can be spent with friends or in solitude, enjoying the weather or your surroundings. Sometimes you're skunked, sometimes you come back with your limit, and both have "the one that got away" stories. The big difference is that it's usually easier to explain fishing to your family and friends.

After the Cardinal
Title:  After the Cardinal
Description:  In June 2001 Amtrak made one of the seemingly "Annual end of service" announcements due to funding problems. One of the trains targeted was the Cardinal. We decided to shoot it in the outback of Virginia and here's the result- train no.51 heading through La Grange VA enroute Clifton Forge. 159 has eight cars behind it of three different styles- Amcoaches, a viewliner sleeper and a pair of heritage cars. The funding showed up soon afterwards, six years later, the Cardinal still runs.
