Besides trains, what else do you photograph?

[Hatchetman]

for fun I mean. not family snapshots. not for work.

I do some closeups of flowers, but that's not too challenging.

I carry my camera around a fair bit of the time, but I don't pull it out too often. I might go out of town for work and take 2-3 pictures to show my kids.

Whatever sparks my fancy.

My gf's dog:



Dune rides:



Car accidents:




Cars on fire:

I'm a fan of waterfalls, bridges, and abandoned buildings

Historical things, cars, and wildflowers.

Not for work? Uh...any photo I take that's not intended for sale is some sort of family snapshot...

General Nature, sunsets and so on.

I guess it all boils down to the simple fact that trains are the single best thing to photograph....well, maybe the second best thing.

For a couple years I tried to force myself to take pictures of something else besides trains so when people asked what I took pictures of I could say something beside just trains. In particular I was trying to impress girls by sounding arty. I really didn't enjoy taking pictures of anything else so I stopped. With that being said, I recently deployed to the Middle East and knowing it would be the only time I would ever go to alot of those places, I forced myself to take pictures. Looking back at them now I'm glad I took them. Some of them are actually pretty good. That being said, I still remember not really enjoying it at the time.

I didn't enjoy it there either. Nobody I know liked it there.


Military aircraft and warships of any vintage.

I rarely tell people that I photograph trains when I'm asked (which is quite often). I usually tell them "landscape photography and whatever catches my eyes." So much easier that way than to try to explain to people such a geeky hobby.

Sunrises, sunsets, abandoned buildings, old cars, the moon, landscape.. Just about anything that can't talk back to you.

Fish and classic muscle cars.
