Starting August 1st, and throughout the month of October, the Flat Iron Exchange will be showcasing the photographic artwork of Jimmy ienner, Jr.

Jimmy’s true passion lies in landscape photography and photojournalism. He has been enamored with railroads since he was young, even having his own model train room as a boy. His passion led him to Bellows Falls, Vermont in the summer of 1993. Being one of a selected few given private access to the Green Mountain Railroad, Jimmy fell in love with the environment in which Bellows Falls sits. Year after year, Jimmy has returned with camera in hand, slowly acquiring a large catalogue of images. He now brings to you some of his work from years in the making of Abstract and Landscape photography. The shots represent the Old Railroad and Old Mills in Bellows Falls VT, including some shots taken just across the river in New Hampshire at the Historic Round House. Partial proceeds to benefit The Preservation Trust of Vermont projects within the town of Rockingham.

BRADDOCK, PENNSYLVANIA

Spent a few days photographing Braddock. Arguably the roughest, toughest and most financially broke town in the state of Pennsylvania.

MYSTERIOUS TOWN CENTRALIA PENNSYLVANIA STILL BURNS

Its population has dwindled from over 1,000 residents in 1981 to 10 in 2012 as a result of a mine fire burning beneath the borough since 1962. Centralia is the least-populated municipality in Pennsylvania. Roger Avery, director of the “Silent Hill” movie, has said part of his inspiration for the movie was from Centralia. What helped me during the post-production process was listening to the Carnivàle soundtrack. (From the Original HBO Series) by composer Jeff Beal along with music by composer Cliff Martinez.
