Tuesday March 10th, I’m giving a class on Steam Locomotive photography at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I intend to offer a brief history of the locomotive and how more complete understanding of steam locomotives can help lead to better contemporary images of these historic machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students will have the opportunity to photograph the museum’s collection and I hope to offer helpful insight in techniques and strategies for making more effective steam images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In November 2021, Kris and I were invited to attend a Trains Magazine photo charter with Soo Line 2-8-2 1003. This popular event attracted a wide variety of photographers and enabled creation of some memorable images.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
