November 13, 2018 – Day 379 – iPhone 7 Plus Daily B/W Photo Challenge – Tom – Today my portrait is of long-time friend Tom Wortham, who joined a group of us from the local photography group for lunch. A portrait doesn’t always have to have the subject looking directly at the camera or even centered in the frame! That’s the beauty of photography, it’s your picture, do it your way!

November 11, 2018 – Day 376 – iPhone 7 Plus Daily B/W Photo Challenge – Veteran’s Day
November 11, 2018 – Day 376 – iPhone 7 Plus Daily B/W Photo Challenge – Veteran’s Day – I knew my B&W portrait today would be one of a Veteran, as it is Veterans Day after all. I attended our parade here in Madisonville, Ky, which is said to be the largest in the state, both as a Veteran myself and to watch my niece and nephews in their first parade. While there I found my portrait subject, Ralph D. Bruce, Senior Chief, USN, and grabbed this shot of him as we were chatting about his service, as we waited for the parade to begin.

On this Veteran’s Day I felt it was appropriate to post something that highlighted the troops and veterans. So here’s a shot from May 14, 2017, of the Paducah and Louisville locomotives “Salute to our Troops” (2127) and “Salute to our Veterans” (2129) as they led the local on that Sunday as it did interchange work with CSX at Atkinson Yard in Madisonville, Ky. To all my fellow Veterans out there, thanks for your service! – #jimstrainphotos #kentuckyrailroads #trains #nikond800 #railroad #railroads #train #railways #railway #pal #palrailway #veteransday
