"I think if we jump the fence and walk a little ways the railroad tracks are right there," my boyfriend said as we pulled up to a barb wired fence. I jumped off the four-wheeler and thought about it and asked "are you sure we can do that?" "It won’t be that hard..." he answered, "let’s do it then" I said with excitement.
It wasn’t the adrenaline rush to hop a barbed wire fence that got me excited, it was the anticipation of taking the cutest couple pictures on train tracks! I looked over the fence at the path we had to follow, it wasn’t the prettiest and definitely not the most trimmed up path I’ve ever been on. But that was besides the fact, when I looked back to Matt, my boyfriend, he was slowly un-doing the barbed wire fencing so all we had to do was jump the fence, easy right? That alone took like 10 minutes, but once we were over it was photo-shoot time.
I couldn’t jump fences and hike a path while holding a tri-pod so all I had to do was find something to hold my camera. Harder than I thought. After looking everywhere the best I came up with was an old tire that someone had left on the side of 75. Yes, the tracks were right next to a major highway, and we were pretty sure they weren’t used anymore. As you can see the shoot was a success!
I can imagine your excitement as you guys were about to hop over the fence and take new pictures since thats what you love. I would of loved to know a little more of what happened as you took pictures but overall I love this post and your picture!
ReplyDeleteYou are one talented photographer, Abby. Your description was perfect. You built tension...I almost thought a train was going to come down the tracks while you were on the tracks taking that picture. You only need to proofread your work for errors in grammar and mechanics.
