Friday, July 5, 2019

I spent the night before at a motel near Rochester and met Otto there. We went to breakfast at the Highland Park Diner in Rochester. It was great. Then we went to Lakeville. We followed the Livonia Avon and Lakeville RR (LAL) turn back to Rochester shooting it at many places along the way. The rain got bad and so we decided eventually to go to the Genesee Brewery have food, beer and watch trains go over the bridge above the falls on the Genesee River. The weather improved and so we went to the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum.

NOTE: If anything is my "life's work" it's my train photos. — If you scan an analog photo of mine, or if you share a digital photo I took that does not have my photo credit, add something like "Photo by Steve Sloan" directly onto the image. It's not enough to say "Photo by Steve Sloan" in the text caption. People download photos off the Internet/Social Media platform and whatever is in the text does not stick to the photo. Then, they get reshared and that data is lost. I deserve credit for my work.

You may not use my photos for profit and/or as part of, or to sell, a product or service without my consent.
