Islip Airport on Long Island is one of the best kept secrets in the whole NY area. It’s about a 90 minute train ride from Penn Station. On holidays getting through security is never more than twenty minutes. The staff are wonderful, and it’s always uncrowded. Worrying about security and weather, we got there hours early last week. I’m posting some of the results of my play while we were waiting for our flight.

I’d set out to find the Tate Modern thinking it was only a short walk from the station, little did i know the walk was much longer & along slightly stingy alleyways. Even as i kept looking over my shoulder I couldnt help but want to capture the moment. London (c) REO 2007

Large View Recommended. Taken inside the remains of a small utility shed. The ladder pictured descends about 20 feet into the darkness and serves as the only access point to one of the large tanks that were used to store water for the steam plant of the Red Cliff Radar Station. The graffiti on the wall says “Heaven” with an arrow pointing to the surface, and I decided to leave the faint reflections of debris at the bottom for a somewhat spooky feel. I did start to climb down, and got just below the surface before fear took over. I might actually go back some day with better equipment (eg long pants, gloves, a helmet, and some lights.) More from this series For more information (and photos dating back to the 1950s) of this historic site, please visit the Red Cliff History section of the Unofficial Logy Bay – Outer Cove – Middle Cove website.

Grand Central Station, New York, NY. I just love the light fixtures they have hanging through out the station…and everything else about this place. It just makes the commute a little more enjoyable.

This image was created for an ongoing series called TRAINS. This image was created with over 20 original digital files shot with a variety of cameras. These files were blended together with over a hundred layers of art work and filters in Adobe Photoshop CS. This image started with all daylight shots and had to add black masks to every layer to achieve the desired look.

Marylebone Station, London. UK - I’m not the only one (at least i don’t think i am), that feels like this. I look around and i see the same look in other peoples eyes. It’s what happens when you stare at the update screens at the station for longer than 5 minutes. They’re always so high up, well, i suppose they have to be because people have to see them. This would be fine if the ceiling wasn’t make of glass panels. After a while all you see is white light… i hoped to capture this in this photo…:-) If they are making a new series of ‘Grumpy Old Women’...i shall hand in my CV. Hah. - Canon S5IS – TV setting..5 seconds. -
