Steam Locomotive, Perris, California, 2008
This was a fun trip, but it was hot and all my photos from there were immensely bright and contrasty. I felt like I spent a small eternity comparing the quality of this photo to other photos of locomotive wheels where the grays were smooth and rich … and it dawned on me that I took a photo of a dirty old locomotive. It hadn’t been painted in decades. There was no lipstick I could put on this iron pig…so I rolled in the grit and went for the aged effect!
