My discussion will cover my last seven years of photographing the Youngstown Steel Heritage Museum and the Age of Steam Roundhouse Museum. I will demonstrate how I document these locations by using light, weather, and people to create diverse and compelling images that change over time, even within the constraints of small spaces.
About the Speaker, Josh Cohen:
I have loved trains since birth. My first Lionel train, gifted to me by my dad's best friend, set me on a path toward railroad photography and preservation.
I am most proud of my time as a fireman on the J&L Narrow Gauge Railroad. I enjoy the challenge of switching cars, whether I'm working on my model railroad or operating full-size trains. My passion is photographing steam locomotives, and the most rewarding part of this work is sharing it with friends.
