Exploring the Whitepass Alaskan Railway

It shouldn't come as a surprise that this bridge was retired years ago. Not the most stable and far past it's useful life, it stands as a feat of engineering despite its outdated technology. The Whitepass route now bypasses this bridge section, traveling further up the mountainside beyond the canyon where a smaller girder piece was put in place.

John Deere 4440--distinctive start-up for this series of tractor

Farming Days

This was me back in 2006 cutting grass fields with a John Deere model 4440. It was originally my grandfather's tractor in his later years of farming. This was a good-running John Deere; it's first overhaul was past the 15,000 hour mark and only occurred after I insisted that I didn't want to mow with a trail of smoke following.

My background living in the country and working in the fields has been an integral part in my art.
