Lost In Time

Now there are less than 5 days before the opening reception for a group show that I curated, takes place. It was a year and a half in the making and involves a total of 20 photographers (including myself). It's called, "The Rail Yard Exhibit". Our show will be at the Kimo Theater Art Gallery in downtown Albuquerque. You can find out more about the show and the Rail Yard at the blog I created just for it (it has many layers that you can 'dig' through to your heart's content).

My Shadow Shot contributions for this weekend (as it was last weekend) are in honor of the upcoming show.

One of the enormous machine shops. These shops had huge cranes in them-a 200 ton crane, a 150 ton crane, and I think the other large crane was 100 tons. These cranes lifted up the steam engines (and later, diesel engines) for repair work and maintenance.

TOYS

One of the Flickr members at our photo shoot at the Rail Yard brought these along for subject matter. Funny, they were left unattended for quite some time, giving many of us a chance to take our own shots.

If you're in town, please do come by to see the show and join us at the opening reception on the 15th of Sept. from 6-8 p.m.

And, last, but not least, I'm not sure if I will be able to make the rounds this weekend to visit your SSS contributions, let alone leave comments. Leaving comments will be the challenge as I will be 'on the road' over the weekend with no computer access. I will be in San Diego attending my mother in laws funeral. I sorely miss her. Alzheimer's is such an unfair disease as they take away your loved one long before they are gone. BUT, please do leave your comments! I enjoy reading them.

As I write this, there are less than 13 days before the opening reception for a group show that I curated, takes place. It was a year and a half in the making and involves a total of 20 photographers (including myself). It's called, "The Rail Yard Exhibit".

My Shadow Shot contributions for this weekend and the next are in honor of the upcoming show.

DOOR

One of the many metal doors to this enormous piece of property...nice how the light is falling over it. I tell you, the light and the shadows on this 27 acre property are highly seductive!!!

What is this???

It's on the outside of the building and I don't know if it's to take something out or put something in the building. I can only assume out. It made for an extremely unique shadow.

I hope you take some time to explore the site I created for the show. The intention was for all of the photographers to write something about their connection and experience to the Rail Yard. I've had as much success with that as I do herding cats....

Every week, a group of us from around the world post our shadow shots over at Hey Harriet. Entertain your muse and be amused by stopping by to see what others have posted! You can view all of my 2010 Shadow Shot Sunday images on my Flickr account. Click here to view them.
