Just a single shot today, depicting a series of CSX locomotive engines which were observed hauling a freight train over the Hell Gate bridge recently. Busy today with developing the shots from Halloween in Astoria, which I hope to be able to show you tomorrow at this – your Newtown Pentacle.
Upcoming Tours and events
Exploring Long Island City, from Luxury Waterfront to Abandoned Factories Walking Tour,

Long Island City is a tale of two cities; one filled with glittering water-front skyscrapers and manicured parks, and the other, a highly active ground transportation & distribution zone vital to the New York economy — which will prevail? With Newtown Creek Alliance Historian Mitch Waxman – details here.

“developing the shots”? You working in a darkroom with enlarging paper, and trays of D76, stop bath, and fixer? I’m writing to you with my Beseler motorized enlarger right next to the computer screen with a plastic garbage bag over it to keep the dust off. Haven’t used it since 2004. Schneider-Kreuznach lens projected all my negatives.

raw shots off the camera and moved through an editing process for display. This is referred to as developing.

Never heard that before. What you are doing is ‘editing’ the imagery. “Developing” is what I did in the “wet” darkroom.
