Lindsey & Ben

Lindsey and Ben's engagement session was an interesting afternoon to say the least. We started at a local lake which you'll see below (I personally love the top picture). When we got bored there we crossed the road to a rail road track. I was excited because there was an idle train on the tracks...we start shooting pics and the conductor starts blowing his whistle at us. I was polite and approached him about being there and quickly realized that there's a reason he travels cross country by himself all of the time.....he doesn't play well with others. He told me we needed to get off the tracks. Seriously fella, we're not kids playing around moving trains - you're not even MOVING and we're not 12. But we decided to leave, to top it off - as we left he shut his engines OFF! (I love the pic's with the train, it looks as though it's moving - too bad I told you otherwise)

Okay, on to the next stop which is an old run-down factory. Super cool structure with lots of picture potential, my brian is going ninety nothing at this point. We park and duck under a gate the says "Keep Out - Private Property" and proceed to start taking some pictures (which I don't have up yet). I'm totally loving this old building and want to take bunches of pictures there but about that time I hear a car drive by and stick my head out from around the building to see a local cop drive by. Perfect timing on our part! He explains that he can see that were not vandels but the owner won't be happy when he finds out we're there so we need to leave.

So we stop a another place for a few quick shots and then head back to their house and attempt to take the picture with their four dogs (that pic is in an earlier post below). We give up on the four dogs that day and I get ready to leave only to realize that my keys that WERE hanging in my front pocket aren't there. We were in the empty lot next to their house where the grass is almost a foot tall looking for over 1/2 an hour for my keys! Luckily I did find them....here are a few from that afternoon, more to follow soon. But it's late now I must get some rest.

Future reference for anyone I'm taking pictures of, never make funny faces (or "cheesey") when I have a camera in my hands!

I'll catch it every time.
