Makeover means new link

The Calgary Sun website recently got a radical makeover.
The result is a much cleaner layout for better reader navigation.
There are also new features, including RSS feeds and browsing for your mobile phone.
The change also means my columns have a new home.
Please go check it out if you have a moment.

Sparkling streamliner

Another oldie, this time from the start of my railfanning days.

Sparkling streamliner

This image was taken on a sleepless night, looking forward on the upper level of the Park Car (domed observation car) aboard the Ocean, Via Rail’s Montreal-Halifax overnight train. We were somewhere west of Rimouski, Que., at the time. What you see here is a long exposure, with passing lights reflecting off the fluted, stainless-steel bodies of the train cars.
This photo was once featured in the Gallery section of Trains magazine.

Down to the core

Boy, that wide-angle lens sure makes the city look small.

Dicey situation

Recently built a little lightbox for shooting random, small objects. This is the result of one such shoot.
