Center for Railroad Photography and Art

by on Apr.18, 2020, under Uncategorized

With about one 24-hour period to spare, I found out that the Center for Railroad Photography and Art was going to do its annual conference online this year and offer it for free to anyone that wanted to join. So I registered and “attended.” It was all day (well, 9-4ish in our time zone) and we saw seven presentations, six photo related and one art related. The conference kept my attention, and I joined as a member at the end of the day (along with about a dozen other folks). Attendance was above 400 all day (you could track how many were “on” the Webex conference constantly). We were told all the sessions would be on CPR&A’s YouTube channel eventually.

This painting popped up in the one art-related session. Turns out the subject is the coal mine in Shamokin, PA, the town where my grandmother lived her entire life. Visited and played there many a time. Don’t miss the Coney Island Hot Dogs downtown; still looks exactly as I remember it.
