Joann,

Are you sure you were not at the Tom Thumb store today... I could swear in court, that you were... lol ... I saw a lady that looked just like you today...

Thank you for your comments and support regarding my work,

Martin

Sam,

Thanks for all of your comments regarding my work.

It started out 3 years ago when I bought my Son his 1st Nikon SLR for Christmas. We went out on a Father - Son Shootout, with no holds barred... We chose The Tarantula Train ride in Grapevine TX for the contest. He was armed with a FM10 and I had my Pentax K-1000? Keep in mind that he never shot this camera before, that day?

I must concede, that he won that day, so I've been chasing that dragon every since... lol ? But today I think I caught that dragon? Yeah! It?s a Father ? Son thing? lol

Thank you once again,

Martin

This shot is the one I like best amongst your other shots for this train. The capture of the steam coming out and use of sepia is fantastic giving it a classic look. Great thing you do with your son enjoying the same hobby which I hope I'd be doing with my son a few years down the line

Cernan,

Thank you for your kind words my friend. You have a long road ahead of you, because my Son is now 22 years of age... But don't blink, because it goes by very fast, so make every day count...

They grow up and don't have time for you... lol ... I rarely get any feedback from him, although we talk weekly... He is a very busy man. LMAO...

My Best to you and yours,

Martin

I really like the steam, the contrast and the sepia. I'd be tempted to add a little noise too - just to add to the olde worlde feel.


Martin .   {K:24358} 10/3/2005

Sally,

Did I say something funny?... ;) I'm glad you enjoyed it, whatever it may be...

Please share the secret my friend,

Martin


Sally Morgan   {K:9219} 10/3/2005
Sorry Martin - I have a mind that can read double entendres into the most innocent situations - it gets me in to trouble all the time :)


Martin .   {K:24358} 10/3/2005
Sally,

LMAO ;P ;P ;P, I just got it... Your soooo BAD!

Marty
