The saying goes, there’s a first for everything. It can be the first time you use a piece of equipment, in my case the first time I used a new camera body, or the first time photographing a piece of railroad equipment, or even the first time something ran on […]

As you can probably tell, I haven’t been able to head out and shoot much of late – for a number of reasons. So instead of letting things further stagnate here, I decided to go back in time and dig out some older photos I took before I implemented the […]
Part four of my five post 2012 photo recap – and this one will cover the last three months of the year. But wait, if this covers the last three months, what will the fifth installment include? If you recall in my first recap post (here), I mentioned the last […]
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 […]

Today was my 39th birthday. So to celebrate, I took the day off from work. For the first part of the day I chased Providence & Worcester train NR-2 from Lisbon to Groton, CT. Then I went home for a while. Then I decided to head out again, this time […]
