It was a good year for photography. Wow, that was easy! Next post! OK, I’ll go into it a little more. I don’t want to do a long boring thing here, but I noticed a number of things as the year progressed that I take to mean I did, in fact, get better at photography. I “leveled up”, as the kids say. First, I started getting a lot more confident about just taking the picture.

A few weeks ago I went down to the foot of Ohio Street in Buffalo, near its southern terminus at Fuhrmann Boulevard, near the Outer Harbor. My main purpose was to do some shooting of the amazing graffiti that adorns the Ohio Street overpass (I’ll feature that work in a future post, though I’ve already posted the images to Flickr), but as I was there some railroad activity.
