World Forestry Center train at night


I have not done a lot of night time lapse photos but I am trying to take the opportunities when they come up.

I had pick someone up at Washington Park in Portland about 8:00pm last week so I took the opportunity to take some pictures. While driving around Washington Park I cam across the train on display in front of the World Forestry Center so I decided to take some pictures of it.

I put the camera on a tripod and took various shots and this was one of the results.

Auto Mart on State Street


I have passed this building for many years and always liked the unique design of the building.

While I dislike the business practices of these "buy here, pay here" lots, still can like the building.

3900 South State KFC


For the most part this is just another chain fast food restaurant except the location is historical as it is the home of the world's first KFC.

The original building sat here until a few years ago when it was bulldozed and this new building erected in its spot.

Take Five Drive In Murray Utah


The Take Five Drive In in Murray Utah that closed a few years ago. It was a great place for burgers and shakes.

I love how the combination of the black and white with the snow on the ground. I think it gives a nice tone to the photo.

Short Lived Rite Aid

I was living across the street when this Rite Aid opened sometime around 1998. It lasted only a few years before it closed it doors.

It still sits empty after several years and now with the Albertson's next door now closed it may have little hope of finding a new tenant.

I have not done a many lately but I love Black and White photography especially when it comes to abandoned buildings and things.

TRAX train at Temple Square


Last December Photowalking Utah did their annual Photowalk at Temple Square. This turned out to be the last Photowalking event I would be able to attend before moving.

I tried to get a few pictures of TRAX trains making the turn from Main Street onto North Temple and this was my favorite. Love the blur of the train and the lights of the police cruiser.
