Re: NNG: Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad charter (photos)

Wayne,
Two major influences to my recent work are the books " One Track Mind" by Ted Benson, and "Railroad Noir" by Joel Jensen.
I have had both of these in my hands a lot recently; not copying ideas or shots but rather studying why and how they created their imagery, inspiration for when I was out in Oregon.
