As I understand it just choosing the route was a challenge, requiring months of work by volunteer engineers to find & verify one with enough clearance and that can withstand the weight. Not to mention cutting down over 400 mature trees. Those will be replaced, and then some, by the museum but it will take 10 - 20 years or more to get back to the same state. A 2 for 1 replanting, I hear. Any word if good use is to be made of the cut trees, perhaps offsetting the need to harvest 400 other trees? No idea. I suspect they simply went to compost or will be burned for power (Not sure if CA has much wood residue CHP). The hardwoods in there may have ended up at specialty suppliers. -- "There were, unfortunately, no great principles on which parties were divided – politics became a mere struggle for office." -Sir John A.

Go and check Dale's work I'm not remotely interested in hearing your opinion of Dale's work, or of anyone else's work for that matter. In my opinion Dale does great work while at work at LAX. We cannot say the same of anything we have seen from you. You say it all when it comes to your character in your self-centered, arrogant remark above. You are only interested in using these photo-groups as a soapbox for your "special" opinion. If you are not remotely interested in hearing my opinion of Dale's or anybody else's work, then kill-file my ass, and you won't be bothered. What a pity Dale doesn't seem to possess a voice of his own, and that you feel obliged (as always) to dominate the thread instead. Dale shares his impressive images in at least two binary photo groups and there are some folks here who would certainly appreciate his work. He doesn't have to say anything, his work speaks for itself You remain impressive in the field of pomposity and your grainy images of nothing. -- Regards, Savageduck |

I welcome comments on my work from people whom I respect and admire and from whom I can learn. Of course! And what was their opinion on Tony Polson's (aka "Bruce") Paris Match cover photo? An amateurish bullying ex-cop snapshooter passes none of the three tests, but there are plenty of people who do and they have taught me a great deal. As far as the "Royal We" goes, exactly the same comments apply to the woeful snapshooters who populate the SI. Perhaps spending on tuition rather than buying yet more expensive equipment and software would elevate the standard? Unless of course you are as unteachable as would appear, whether singly or as a group. I've met many Brits in my life, and to be sure a few were a bit arrogant and rude. But most are very charming and polite - and self deprecating in that modest, British way. Of course they were talented and had made something of themselves first. All Tony Polson (aka "Bruce") is talented at is insulting others while shielding the plain facts about his mediocre, nothing existence. Oh, Tony Polson (aka "Bruce"), congrats on finally getting those photos off of railfan. That reduces the noise level of the photo universe considerably. Try to keep them off of the net now, will you. Maybe replace them with your famous Tony Polson (aka "Bruce") Paris Match cover photo? |

I welcome comments on my work from people whom I respect and admire and from whom I can learn. So, there is nobody in any of the photo-groups you infest, worthy of viewing your immense and accomplished portfolio? ....and since by your own assertion that there is nobody here you respect, or admire, one wonders why you actually bother posting anything, since you are certainly not held in any level of respect, or admiration in these rooms. An amateurish bullying ex-cop snapshooter Actually a professional, successful, retired cop, snapshooter. passes none of the three tests, but there are plenty of people who do and they have taught me a great deal. ....and apparently none of these respected individuals loiter around these rooms. So, why is it that "Tony/Bruce" wallows with the scum of photography? It seems you are using the opposite of the Groucho Marx ironic question, "Why would I want to join a club which would want me as a member?" As far as the "Royal We" goes, exactly the same comments apply to the woeful snapshooters who populate the SI. No, I did not use, or even imply the "Imperial we", there are enough of us here to speculate on your claims of authority in the photography world, which are totally devoid of credentials. ....and yet the woeful "snapshooters" populating the SI have the humility to submit their work for scrutiny and comment, unlike the poseur you have proven yourself to be. Perhaps spending on tuition rather than buying yet more expensive equipment and software would elevate the standard? ....and yet you seem to have done neither, or should I say you have never provided evidence in word or action to prove that you have done either. Unless of course you are as unteachable as would appear, whether singly or as a group. Then, as an unworthy group you should consider a kill-file for the bunch of us, or expending your energy elsewhere. Unless of course there is another more anti-social reason for your presence in these groups. -- Regards, Savageduck |
