The Station Agent

It was a gorgeous day, 55 degrees, and I finally got to spend some time outside with my camera. I shot 140 pictures of one of my favorite subjects: rusty, graffiti covered trains.

And then this evening we watched The Station Agent, a wonderful movie that won at Sundance in 2003. I don't know how I manged to miss this treat of a film till now. It's original, funny, and filled with great characters. I highly recommend it. (Though it was somewhat of an odd little coincidence to watch a film with so many trains in it after spending my day with trains!)

 You can tell it's Spring Downriver because the bait shops are open, the ducks are paddling around on melted ice-rinks, and classic cars and bikers are on the roads.
