A hello with a few boring photos. :)

Hey there, my name is Ted and I live in Chesapeake. I ran across this site a while ago in a Google search, created an account and forgot about it. I remembered it again while doing some other research, and this time I intend to post and stick around a bit.

With two kids and a hectic job, I hardly get out as much as I'd like to. I have a side gig as a part time professional photographer, and I like to do some personal work from time to time in odd locations I run across. I have a thing for producing images from places and perspectives most people never get into. I don't get into much of the hardcore stuff though, as I'm usually by myself and don't want to end up getting attacked or injured without someone around to assist or get help.

I'd love to meet up and network with some of you in Hampton Roads, and perhaps tag along on a few excursions and bring back some decent photos. In the meantime, here's some of my tame work from the past:

From under the High Rise Bridge, an old advisory from the defunct C&P telephone company:

Looking up at the underside of the High Rise Bridge:

Up in the middle deck of the triple overpass as a Norfolk Southern consist moves through:

Risky business, a more recent shot from the South Norfolk Jordan Bridge worksite on a weekend:

A shot of the bridge while it was under construction:

Hoofed it down the old defunct NWRR line to the oceanfront, this is an old trestle out east of Town Center. All this classy old railway will be gone if Virginia Beach gets on the light rail wagon:

Old Norfolk Southern advisory along the way:

Alley cat in an alleyway off Olney Road in Norfolk:

Wandering around Norfolk, I came upon the mouth of the midtown tunnel:

High key shot of one of the old rail lift bridges on the Elizabeth River, near the Jordan Bridge worksite. Tide came in on my walk and I almost got stranded out there. :o

Thanks everyone! I've been trying to get some time in to walk the new Jordan Bridge and get some both long and wide shots up and down the river. Hasn't happened yet though.

This is funny...I walked the bridge on opening day...during Hurricane Sandy. Was one of the most miserable things I've done in a long while.

FUMBLE!!!

That shot of the train with the motion blur is amazing!

Great shots! Welcome to UER!
