Mel Patrick is an outstanding photographer as well as a gentleman. His wonderful photo collection dabbed the 'Pride of the Rio Grande' has attracted many viewers from far and wide. These unusual perspectives in photography come from Denver-based photographer Patrick who has been a railroad employee for more than 30 years. He usually strives for strikingly different images and his pioneering works stretch from synchronized flash to multi-media side-shows. He says that the most interesting bit of advice he was ever given from his 5th grade teacher. He was showing slides at her house in 1971. And at the end she asked him whether it was only trains that he could photograph. He needed to broaden his view. “if you can make an interesting photograph of something with railroad in it then you can get better images”, his teacher said. Since then, Patrick changed his way of thinking and broadened his view. And after seeing Winston Link’s night photographs in the Trains Magazine, he decided to try synchronized flash photography. Patrick realized that if he wanted to make impact, he would have to do something unique. There are very few people out there who could achieve that. Today, many people thank him for sharing his photos and they count themselves honored to have them in their homes or in their collections. Patrick says that the trick is not to make an image artificial but rather to make it as natural as possible, and also to use light in essence to paint the picture.
