I don’t know what this is called, but I see them all the time on railway cars, their little faces peering out from the undercarriage. This one was made by Stanrail, a company in Gary, Indiana, which closed after serving the industry for 30 years. It’s the old, weathered look, the heavy metal, the bits of colorful graffiti that are flaking off, that grab my eye every time. And the face? So startling to see on a big piece of equipment.

I'm a photographer, writer, educator based on Whidbey Island in the Pacific Northwest, specializing in photomontage work, combining photos I've taken of rust, walls, peeling paint, birds, postage stamps, trees, etc. into images that are completely new, different, and often weird. I also create physical collages, then find myself photographing parts of them to include in my photomontages. It's crazy, but it's fun! My career has encompassed writing guidebooks (primarily about where to photograph in California), newsletters (guides for photographers about where to photograph in the United States), leading photo workshops, and conducting online classes.
