"Audentes Fortuna Iuvat"
- Virgil, Aeneid

I love Flickr! I have great Flickr friends. My Flickr experience has challenged me to be a better photographer, and inspired me to try new things. I am constantly amazed, awed and humbled by the extraordinary artistry of my fellow Flickrites.
I've been very inspired by the artistic and creative talents of my wife...she has pushed me in new and bold directions, and her own work is amazing...

I served 22 years as an officer in the US Air Force and loved every minute of it.
After the Air Force, I spent almost a year as a terminal trainmaster for a Class 1 freight railroad in Chicago (and a little while in Detroit). While it was a great adventure and I loved many aspects of the job, I came to realize the railroad lifestyle was not one I was willing to embrace for the next twenty years.
I am now an engineering projects manager, working in the high-power semiconductor industry in Southwestern PA

"A.J. is THE BEST in the land when it comes to the genre of the steel rail. His striking art reveals amazing dedication, patience, and passion. Each piece is well thought out and most are accompanied by an informative mini-essay that completes his tale of love."

A.J. thanks for sharing your passion, talent and beautiful work with us.
Keep it up buddy."22nd May, 2010
