Hey Now! Thought I'd say hello. I've been creeping the board for a while and so far Im into it. I live in Northern VA on the RF&P and started getting into the train hopping world by randomly getting a job working on the DC metro system, seeing boxcar art and hearing co workers talk about life in heavy freight. I haven't hopped just yet, but Im continuing to gather intel to ride this fall or next summer. Its pretty amazing what you can learn from open source research and listening to train radio. Also, as a weird way to find out whats going on is using Railfans and their OCD to find out schedules, patterns ect. Other than that, Im into photography, weed and punk rock. If anyone is around my area hit me up and i'll take your picture.

I just wonder why someone who mentions they'll photograph someone else wouldn't show their own photo of themselves, not like one should, just call me paranoid, but then again I shouldn't be the one to talk since im not Vincent price and im not showing who I am anyways,
pardon me

Wow, First let me thank you for elaborating on your comment on me being shady. Yes, I will take a photo of you but only if you give me permission. I used that statement in the same way one might say, "hit me up and I'll buy you a beer". I also agree with your paranoia, we live in a fucked up and weird world and both post on a message board about doing something illegal. So why not show some discretion? But to at least show good faith to the community that I will indeed take your photo as a friendly gesture and that I am not shady, I can offer some of my other photos here. https://www.flickr.com/photos/thededicatedphotography/

Also, if your ever in NOVA, hit me up and I'll buy you a beer.
