Casky Lane Lone Tree

11.16.14 Lone Tree on Casky Lane, Hopkinsville, Ky

November 15, 2014 – I found this lone tree just off of Casky Lane in Hopkinsville, Ky when I was out searching for trains. Just liked how it looked and haven’t done a landscape photo in awhile. When out searching and looking for pictures keep an eye out for the simple things!

100 Veterans Portrait Exhibit

100 Veterans Portrait Exhibit Opening from Jim Pearson on Vimeo.

 I’m humbled by all the kind words, on November 11, 2014, during the  opening of my first solo photography show “100 Veterans” in the Anne P. Baker Gallery at the Glema Mahr Center for the Arts, here in Madisonville, Ky. It was my honor to photograph these men and women who served their country. They are the ones that should be getting all the kind words as I’m just an instrument that helped to highlight their service. Again, I thank you all! I hope you enjoy this short video clip I did of the opening. There is an online gallery in the works and perhaps a book so stay tuned!

Finger Lakes Railway

11.10.14 Finger Lakes Railway

November 10, 2014 – Finger Lakes Railway’s GMTX 3303 sits at CSX’s engine service facility at Atkinson Yard in Madisonville, Ky after being dropped off by Paducah and Louisville Railroad. The engine is out of the VMV shops in Paducah. It’s a SD 38-2. It is awaiting a CF400 inspection before heading out on the Henderson Subdivision. The inspection is to check the clearance of the engine to insure there won’t be any issues with moving it on CSX. Finger Lakes Railway is located in Geneva, NY and so I assume this engine will move north at some point over the next few days. It does have the GMTX lease markings so I am guessing they’ve leased the unit.
