I wanted the people at the left in the photo, to bring it to life.  They wandered off a little after I took my photo, and I crossed the tracks to the other side to take a similar photo. Reminds me now of my Lionel train set, with this same locomotive! Welcome, dear visitor!

Suede Posted September 2, 2021 Share #77283  Posted September 2, 2021 On 9/1/2021 at 1:26 AM, Wayne said: Thank you for the compliment. Normally, I have not paid much attention to this flower, other than the very intriguing husk that it leaves behind, and which often adds considerable texture to autumn/winter landscapes. But, I did notice this stand for an entire week as it blossomed along my evening walk with Zoe . I was crushed when it was knocked down in the county mowing effort. Imagine that, a moment of genuine sorrow........over the passing of a weed.  I am reminded of the following lines from Thomas Gray's Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard... "Full many a gem of purest ray serene, The dark unfathom'd caves of ocean bear: Full many a flow'r is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air." 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those folks (dad and 2 kids, right?) make the photo! Not only their interest in the train and their human scale, but one can't help but feeling at least a bit terrified about the possibilities.

Even back then, I wanted people in my photos if possible.  Yes, dad and two kids.  And yes, if I was that young, I might be VERY intimidated by this huge machine making all sort of sounds just a few feet away from me!  Terrified might be a better word, but for dad holding my hand for security.  You're also right about "scale".  Train engines don't look so huge until you actually get close to one, and realize how huge it is.  Steam engines are even more so, with sounds and smoke and steam coming out from all over.  Standing this close to a live steam locomotive isn't a good idea.  And the horn - it's off the scale in loudness, as they want to warn people a long way off that the train is coming.  (If the same scenario repeated itself again, I might offer "dad" a copy of the photo.  Back then, I never would have thought that way, with my mind fully wrapped up in capturing "the moment".)  I look at lots of photos here, and in various books.  Having something or some one alive in the photo brings the whole photograph to life.  Otherwise, it is too "static".  To me, other people around me are "props", and I often wait until they "fit" into the image somehow, even if it's a person walking towards something I want a photo of.  Only towards it, not away. Thank you! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely shot(s). Thank you!  Here's one more, before I move on.   I think they're being B&W, not color, makes them more effective.  That's not what I was thinking way back then - if I wanted to process them in my darkroom,  color was out, and I didn't think I could afford to be shooting in color.  Color was for family photos.  Photos to hang on my wall were to be B&W.   Welcome, dear visitor!

Poems and books we read long ago are like treasure troves we can return to. Like our old photos. Thank you Suede for this poetic addition to Wayne´s picture.  Teasels in particular are very popular with insects--they blossom very economically--always a circular row at a time, from bottom to top, so the "sweetness on the desert air" is there for many weeks and the butterflies can come back 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
