Scenes from the morning’s walk: Details

“As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.” ~ Henry David Thoreau
I’ll admit, I’ve always discounted the “one camera, one lens” photography philosophy as a blogging project similar to the 365 projects you see across the photographic blogosphere rather then a true learning opportunity. You know, something photographer bloggers do to write about but with debatable tangible deliverables from the activity.
However, I’m reconsidering my hasty opinions,
“Out of damp and gloomy days, out of solitude, out of loveless words directed at us, conclusions grow up in us like fungus: one morning they are there, we know not how, and they gaze upon us, morose and gray. Woe to the thinker who is not the gardener but only the soil of the plants that grow in him.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Trains hold an important place in our country’s past and they still have a strong role today in transporting people and goods. They also hold a fascination for me and many others.
I decided to shift to black and white in order to perhaps change my perspective or exercise my creative brain a bit more.
Two of these photos were taken with the Olympus OM-D and the third with my Apple iPhone 4.
