Western Railroad Discussion > An "EspeeBoy" / "RamosBoy" photo challenge......

To "Ryan" & "Alex" ---

Could you create a photo using "yourselves" as shown in the following print ???

"James Turner" was pretty thorough in covering the Great Northern trains along Puget Sound north of "Ballard" in the 1920's and 30's ... Turner was a streetcar motorman and later drove Seattle Transit's trackless trolleys. He lived in "Ballard" and worked "Nights", so he was able to do what he liked most : Taking TRAIN photographs...

In this scene, James Turner has captured the morning train to Vancouver, BC while at the same time "capturing himself in a delayed exposure" along with the passing train..

Interesting pix and story, Ken.

Cheers,
Jack

FYI Ballard is home to most of the Boats featured on The TV series " Most Deadliest Catch"

Now, that's cool...My son and I love that show.
And...if Alex or Ryan want to accept KRK's challenge, they have to wear a cool brim like the dude in the shot!

Ohh! I'm a Most Deadliest Catch fan too! I'll play, but I'd rather be fireman! <G>

Take Care,

LOL, this challenge was way too easy. Wait, KRK wanted us to go up to Ballard and stage this shot today with a wood tripod, O.G, brim hat and a steam engine?!?

Only Ryan Martin would make a joke out of this.. What I'm looking for is a modern day photograph of some train that turns you on with YOU or Alex in the photo, the same way James Turner did it years ago... Understood ??
Could be in Niles, Richmond, Altamont or where ever..

KRK
But, BOTH of you can't be there at the same time. You have to construct the scene by yourself-- no friends tagging along.. OK??

KRK

LOL this is a fun post hope a bunch go out and do this.

So as you type it, James Turner was turned on by one of his railfan buddies?

Sorry, Alex just doesn't do it for me...

<g>

Back on a serious note, over the last 5 years, Ramos and I have shot various photos with eachother intentionally in the frame or not. Will have to dig through the archives...

I got video of a UP Special with Alex and Jeff (CDTX) in the frame, and since we didn't know each other when I recorded it, does that count???

That there is your Dodgers hat. While it looks better than a brim hat, I'd still like to see you in a brim hat.
