Meanwhile, I'd also like to announce a new article publication. The May 2007 issue of TRAINS Magazines has an article by myself and Dan Haneckow titled MAX at Night. It's a 6-page photo essay focusing on what happened behind the scenes at TriMet's MAX Light Rail Service.



Many thanks go out to Mary Fetsch at TriMet for working with Dan and I over the last two years of this project. It's been a long process but I think it turned out quite nice. Thanks also go to Jim Wrinn, Editor at TRAINS for taking the risk to run a photo essay on transit; to Kathi Kube, TRAINS' Managing Editor and the project editor for this story; and to the Art Department at the magazine, who made our story and photos look so good.

Last of all, but not least, thanks to Dan who came up with the brilliant idea and who soldiered through the all-nighter (and the long writing process!) with me.

Look for the magazine on newsstands near you starting this week. You can also order it direct from Kalmbach Publishing at 800.533.6644, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Central Time.
