This was a really hard challenge, honestly. The problem was primarily that I practically live behind the lens of a camera. What haven’t I photographed??? {Which is exactly what my husband asked when I told him of this weeks challenge.}
For days and days we’ve brainstormed… In fact, we had a nasty run in with maggots in our dumpster and Genny had the bright idea of them being my new subject.
You are welcome- I couldn’t do it…
Then, we were out for a drive and it hit me!
Train Stuff…
Granted, I’ve done engagement photos for clients there, and senior pictures… BUT my subject was never the train (or train stuff) itself. It was merely a backdrop, if you will. So, technically new…
So, tell me what you think…
And then, for more amazing photographic contributions head here…
Rainy Day in May... 
I like all your train stuff…I have a friend that works for the railroad. He says that all the graffiti on the trains is like an artist's signature and he knows which towns some of the stuff comes from…cool huh?
i always love your stuff, and this is no exception! you definately have a way of making anything into art!
you are both sweet… thank you…
There's something about graffiti that I actually found quite beautiful in photos. Great photographs!
Those are awesome! I have a 7 year old in my home that loves trains. I am getting ready to decorate his walls with train pictures! Of course mine aren't near as cool as yours!
Your train/train yard shots are amazing. You took something potentially ordinary and dirty and made it so beautiful!! Great job!!
Your photos are lovely – the way you've caught the sunlight is fantastic!!
I love the sunburst and the shadow pictures the best.
great job. my favorite is the second to last. :)
Beautiful pictures!
Those turned out great!!
These are gorgeous photos! I love the juxtaposition of a romantic touch on hard, heavy, mechanical machinery. Great captures!
Beautiful photos!! The sun thru and under the trains is awesome!
These are really great shots! I love train track pics. Good choice :)
Oh! I thought of trains. There are 5 sets of tracks a block from my house.Beautiful shots.
These are terrific! I love the colors of the graffiti. I also love the shot down the track. Cool!
I've always wanted to shoot trains…these are awesome! Great captures!

I am loving your photos. Question? Why did you pick the title Rainy Day In May for your blog? I just posted a blog about the month of May, and I was just curious.
Very cool shots. Just be careful actually getting on the tracks. It's legal in most states. you can check your states laws here. http://www.fra.dot.gov/downloads/Safety/cross_chp9.pdf
