“On which side of the platform is my train?” asked a stranger in a Jersey City depot the other day. “Well, my friend,” replied a gentleman,, “if you take the left you’ll be right; if you take the right you’ll be left.” — Weekly Mountaineer, The Dales, Oregon, January 6, 1877 " Kevin is no foamer" Today. Kevin Hass led the group and showed all the pictures that are part of his exhibit at the National Railroad Museum in Wisconsin. Kevin's exhibit has been up for almost a year and due to be removed in a few weeks. He will be donating the entire collection to the museum. There were more than 50 images both at the museum and shown today at f8. He and we discussed... how a photograph can convey power the punctums of each image his techniques in capturing trains and the environment of the genre his aesthetic the pattern of the railroad tracks themselves We learned what the term "foamer" means....a foamer is an undesirable photographer who stalks railroads and thos who work in railroads in an unrelenting way...Clearly Kevin is no foamer. The first several pictures are of the exhibit As editor, I choose 8 images either Kevin or the group esp liked or discussed at length
