Three Generations of Railroad Photography David Lange: The Search for a New Perspective - (from Eugene, OR)

Three Generations of Railroad Photography David Lange: The Search for a New Perspective The third offering in a trilogy of presentations showcasing the evolution of railroad photography spanning 68 years and three generations. Growing up around railroads is an understatement for David Lange. His exposure to trains began with the Southern Pacific Coastline before he was even a month old. The heavy influence of not one, but two accomplished railroad photographers in the immediate family made it inevitable that he would develop an interest for railroads as well. We'll follow David through his early years watching the transition from first generation diesels to dash two technology on the Coastline, Cajon Pass, and the Tehachapi mountains. We'll also see some of his first experiences with a camera and the beginning of his quest to find his own signature style of imagery. He'll then take us on a condensed tour through his archives showing the evolution of his photography skills and his never ending search for a new perspective.
