Welcome to the RRPictureArchives.NET contributor site of Alan Fricker.  

I've been taking railroad photos now for about 45 years, starting seriously with my first 35mm rangefinder camera about 1973.  I've been scanning and posting-ever so slowly-my print collection.  The slides will have to wait until I have a decent slide scanner.

I still use film gear and have recently acquired a used digital camera.  I wish I could take all this gear back into time and get the photos of the ones I missed!

I will do some manipulation of the photos.  Cropping and lightening or darkening is the extent of that-I don't like the idea of doing any more than that.  To me, it changes the historical context of the photo.
