Densha 2006.

Densha is the Japanese word for train. During a 2006 visit I took the above photo, something about the graceful curve of the track and the train just draw me in.
Caption: The Local train for Hon-Atsugi stops at Gotokuji Station. Odakyu Line. One of the last photo's I took on my trip.

Canon XTi (400D), Sigma 70-200 f2.8, 2x teleconveter, 1/400s @ f5.6

Below is a slide show of some of other Densha favorites.

The Bench.

This photo was taken on the afternoon of November 27th, 2007. It is a bouquet of flowers left on a bench on the Katy Trail. The bench is dedicated to the memory of young woman. I have taken quite a few photograph's at this bench and this is one of my favorites, it is not really that great a photograph, the 3.3 mp of the G1 leave something to be desired, but I do enjoy the moment it gives me.

A new Direction.

Starting today this blog will take a somewhat new direction, more in line with it's title. Originally I started out to document the food and sights of a summer road trip, but when the trip was over I didn't want to stop completely, so that led into The Pizza Files. The Pizza Files deserved a home of their very own, so www.pizzafiles.com came to be earlier this month.

This site will become an outlet for my photography, truly postcards from the road, flower garden, park, museums... You can be the judge, "Is it Art?"

In the next few days I will post a few of my favorite photographs from the past, then I will try to update as the need arises.
