Trains in Collierville, Tennessee, more from the Pig in a Poke Collection, Part one, B&W

I’ve been posting photos from my trip down to Mississippi and Memphis early this month.  Here are some more, all shot on film. The Pig in a Poke Collection came about when I offered to sell some prints half price if folks wanted to pay for them, before I’d even seen scans. This was a little nerve wracking for me, because, shooting film, you can never be sure what you got until the scans come back. It was a great confidence boost too since a few folks took me up on the offer. They had faith in my work. Pretty cool feeling!

I knew the trains in the Collierville park would make great subjects, and I think these black and whites were the best of the best. I’ll be posting color photos in another post.

I thought this would make a cool photo with the lines leading to the distant point. I'm happy with how it came out.

Loved how the end of the train seems 3 D in this photo
