As a small child, each summer I would travel to Longview, Texas with my grandparents to visit family. One day during each trip, my granddaddy would take me to the Longview depot on the Texas & Pacific to watch the trains. With our Whataburger in hand, we would sit on the tailgate and watch the trains work and rumble by. Decades later I bought a camera and on the way home, I noticed a train headlight in the distance. I threw some film in the camera, and with those few clicks, a love of photography was reborn.
