2012 Photo Recap – January to March

I usually do a monolithic recap of the previous year’s photos, but this year I decided to do things a bit differently – I’ll be splitting it up into five posts.  My main reasoning behind this is I’ve been a bit, um, behind in posting to the blog here.  So to start to make up [...]

Magazine Articles, Slide Scans and the Train Show

Busy times lately – both at work and at home.  But I figured it was time for a quick blog post to stir things up a bit and let you all know where things are.  First off, you’ll see my work – both photos and writing – in a couple magazines’ March 2012 issues, one [...]

9/9 – a PanAm birthday

With September 9th (otherwise known as my birthday) being a Friday this year, I took the day off with the intent of going out and shooting for most of the day.  Jill was at work, and the kids were in school, so I could have the bulk of the day to spend with my cameras.  The [...]

Flowers, Stars & Trains

Last Friday was a pretty good day, photographically speaking.  I ended up taking the day off from work for a couple reasons – first, later in the evening I was putting on a presentation about the railroads along the Thames River for the Northeast Prototype Modeler’s Meet out in Collinsville, CT (BTW, if you’re a [...]

Tuesday night scan-o-rama

I was out sick again today, and there wasn’t much on TV, so no movie reviews tonight.  But since I’m feeling better tonight, I decided to scan through some of my “reject” folders of slides.  I, unlike some other photographers, rarely throw away slides – I keep everything (unless it’s truly out of focus).  And [...]

A couple slide scans – Guilford & FEC

I didn’t get a chance to head out today – kinda swamped at work.  So instead of not posting anything, I took a break from the Olympics and scanned a couple slides in.  At least we’ll keep things somewhat fresh here…granted the pictures are at least 6 years old…

The Nights of 2009

Now that we’re safely nestled into the new year I normally pick out some of my favorite shots from the previous year (2008 & 2007 for example) as a kind of retrospective look at what I shot over the past 365.25 days.  This year I decided to narrow it down a bit to one subject I’ve [...]

PanAm Under The Stars

I had made plans with Nick Palazini to try and do a little shooting along PanAm Railway’s District 3 and 4 on Saturday night.  Hopefully we would catch something along the way.  Our plans started out as meeting up at East Deerfield and playing it by ear from there.  Of course, things changed – as [...]

East Deerfield in the Dark

Last night I did a slideshow for the Northeast Prototype Modelers Meet out in Collinsville, CT.  The show was on railroads at night, and went over rather well.  Since I was out and about anyways, I decided to meet up with fellow photographers Nick Palazini and Dave Jodoin somewhere up on PanAm’s District 4.  As [...]

An evening in Plainville

I had been trying to get out the past few nights to head out to Plainville, CT and shoot one of the PanAm painted GP40s that works down this way.  Well, finally things came together, and I headed out last night with Bob LaMay and Nick Palazini for the evening.  A nice clear night with [...]
