about Brian Thompson
I am a professional photographer based in Brantford,
Ontario. As you can well imagine by now, I
like trains! So when I'm not photographing whatever will pay the bills, or glamour photography which is a sideline for me, I
try to make a few train pictures when I can. Sometimes I'll drag
the family along on a day off for a drive in the country, near
railroad tracks if I can help it!
My wife Donna records engine
numbers and other vital railfanning stats; Justin (age 12) likes
to count the cars, and Lisa (age 15) is at the age now where
she'd rather hang out with her friends than see trains.
Justin on the Bangor & Aroostock, 1991, and
Lisa at a park in Campbellville, Ont. beside the CPR mainline.
- I am also an HO scale modeller, with an
small, modular layout under construction in the basement.
I'm a big Erie-Lackawanna Railroad fan, and I'm trying to
recreate the Bloomsburg Branch, which ran southwest from
Scranton, PA in the mid-1960's era.
- I also enjoy playing PC games such as
Command & Conquer: Red Alert, and X-Wing vs. Tie
Fighter.
- Lately I've been devoting more time to
doing glamour photography & model portfolio's. A bit
more interesting than trains, though I haven't given up
on them completely!
