Main Street Station

Main Street Station has been in Richmond for a long time, 1901 to be exact. It was the main station in the area until the 50s when the Broad Street Station took passengers (Science Museum). It now operates as a Amtrak station and events are held there. I was walking around down in the bottom with a friend when I captured this photograph.

Japanese Creature

Walking in Kyoto my girlfriend and I came across this in the middle of the street. Was pretty interesting, seemed like 2 badgers wearing clothing and wanting to drink. I had to take a quick picture.

Christmas on Monument Ave – Richmond, VA

Was out with the group recently again to grab some great pictures of Monument Avenue in the city of Richmond. There are some great houses down there and they also do a great job at decorating and lighting them up for the holidays. It was a great time and there were plenty others walking down the avenue enjoying the lights with coco. I used my Canon 60D and EF-S 17-55mm f2.8 lens for all these shots with a tripod of course.

These nice folks really like some nut crackers, they had 14-15 of them around their door way.

The old Cadillac down on Monument is a well known icon down there and is always decorated like this each year with something different. There are reindeer on the end of the red ropes on the front of the car in a tree.

Some of the Christmas Trees that are seen from outside in their windows downstairs are gorgeous as well.

I took this picture from across the street and captured some light trails from the traffic in the area that night. I enjoyed the outcome.

Thanks for looking!

 

 

Rusted Light

I enjoy walking downtown after work if I can. Usually though I get out of work around 4-4:30pm and doesn’t allow me enough time to go home get changed and get to the city before it is already dark. There are a few days though I get out early and the summer is always nice as I have plenty of time after work before the sun sets. I was walking with my Konica Hexar AF this day with some Fuji Pro400h loaded in. Occasionally I see some old cars and some old rusty cars still being used parked downtown. I captured this in mid fall.
