¿ªÔÆÌåÓýNeill, ? I agree.? The landscape adds so much ¡°value¡± to the photo.? Every so often I see the suggestion that you should ¡°isolate¡± the subject train from its surroundings.? To me, that¡¯s advice that¡¯s good only for roster shots or factory shots. ? Phil Burton ? ? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Neill Farmer ? I am a firm believer that trains live in a landscape, whether that be urban, industrial or, in this case, the badlands. Every now and then an image comes along that illustrates this perfectly/ Well done. |

Beebe mentioned the idea of the train as the sole object of interest in the photo in his first book, High Iron, reflecting the view of railroad roster shot and action shot photographers of the 1930s.?? By the time Highball came out in 1945, he and Clegg, whom he met after High Iron was published, were doing more to put the trains they photographed in context and Mixed Train Daily was as much about the places the trains ran as the trains themselves.?? I'm glad you like the Mike Danneman photo I selected to represent North Dakota as it really said a lot to me about the train in its surroundings.?? Mike Tisdale
