Sunday daytime – Diesel & Grain Powered Horsepower

Sunday was an eventful day, photographically speaking.  So I’ll be dividing it up into two parts – day and night.  For the daytime, I had one chance encounter, and one planned.  The chance involved the New England Central Railroad, and the planned was up at my alma mater – the University of Connecticut.

Connecticut Renegades – Cowboy Mounted Shooting

This past weekend we went to the Four Town Fair in Somers, CT for some of the usual fair stuff – rides, food, animals and of course beer.  But the Four Town Fair has something else to offer – a Cowboy Mounted Shooting demonstration put on by the Connecticut Renegades, a CMS team from north-central [...]

I finally got through all 1500+ images I took at the Lebanon Fair this past weekend. Yep, that’s not a typo – I took over one thousand five hundred photos over 3 days of the fair! The weather was beautiful on Saturday & Sunday, and Friday was a little rainy, but not bad [...]
