I was thrilled to discover your website and find that you were offering multiple products with the image of the Filben Maestro as my grandfather, William Filben, was the inventor. I will be framing this photo for my home and anticipate ordering many other items in the near future for my large extended family

When I saw this photo of my hero, I had to obtain it because as you can see in the photo, I have Babe Ruth when he was young & strong initially with the Yankees. I want to truly thank the artist for his photo!

Terrific concert photo of Madonna back in the '80s. I hope the owner of this series featured in Life Magazine will make more available. They are stunning.

Artist's Description
At Porteau Cove, at least in the summer months, there is regularly a freight train that goes through at about 11:45pm from Vancouver to Whistler. You get a little warning that it's coming, because about 15 minutes before it arrives, they send through a pickup truck converted to run on the rails, presumably to check that the track is clear of obstructions.
Unfortunately, being a freight train, it is fairly poorly lit from anything except right at the front, and as it's usually going in the same direction I'm looking, I've never managed to get a good shot of it with the stars (despite frequently trying).
However, this time the pickup truck came in the other direction -- from Whistler to Vancouver. I wasn't sure if it was simply returning home, or if this was a sign that for once the train would be going in the opposite direction. Once I heard the sound of the train horn about 15 minutes later, I couldn't get set up quickly enough!
I knew the front lights would...
About Alexis Birkill
Born in the UK, I moved to Vancouver, BC in 2011. My career in photography has grown from a long-held passion for capturing the beauty of the world, aided on the technical side by my background as a software developer. I specialise in fine art photography of landscapes, seascapes and cityscapes in and around the Pacific Northwest, with work exhibited internationally. Many of my photographs feature the beautiful city of Vancouver, but as well as capturing its iconic cityscapes, I can often be found exploring the BC and Washington coastline for new photographic opportunities, as well as developing my portfolio of night sky photographs featuring the Milky Way and the Aurora Borealis.

Hi Alexis, very nice composition! The light effects give a special dynamic touch to the composition. Usually lens flare is what one wants to prevent, but you turned it into a great asset - whether you were lucky or not :). Also many thanks for your nice story around the picture, great to see how much knowledge is needed for a picture like this. Voted!
