Re: my Durango & Silverton Railfest pictures

Joe, no I do not shoot video, only stills.

Thank you all for the comments about my photographs.
Quite a few sent me private messages asking if the little boy pictures were posed or staged. No, it happened in real time.
I was riding behind the Eureka that day, we pulled onto a siding to both pick up more fire wood and let the Presidential and regular scheduled passenger trains pass.
I could not have scripted what happened before my camera, he first sat on the siding rail to watch the approaching train, then stood up to wave to the engineer, and tipped his hat to the conductor.
It’s better to be lucky than good, simply in the right place at the right time. Even luckier I had the telephoto lens on the camera.
