Transportation is another subject I really enjoy photographing. The lines and forms of old cars, the character of bicycles, the stories of old trains, etc. In the world of keywording, this is one of my main themes. Once I’ve assigned an image with the keyword transportation I can then call up all of the transportation images and add more such as bikes, trains, cars, airplanes, coyote hawk, trucks, ships, boats, and tractors. Those are the nine subsets I’m currently happy with.

Aaahh, the mighty Mississippi in New Orleans. A coast guard cutter heading upriver as it passes a container ship heading south and out into the Gulf.

A funny little vehicle in New Orleans, perfect for the super narrow streets. It reminds me of the cleverly designed golf carts I saw on Catalina Island years ago.

This bike was also main themed under art. Duh.

THIS image was also main themed under people AND music. We were listening to a performer play. I never did see how successful he was at riding and carrying such a large drum.

We found this old cart outside a building in the Amana Colony in Iowa. The below is used on the family farm in Nebraska to get around and haul bee boxes to the garage for honey extraction.

Next week we’ll explore some of the different foods we came across on our journey.

Happy shooting!
